Question

How many d.u.i.'s make it to grand jury a year ??

Answer 1

I think if the case is an aggravated D.U.I., 49 percent of it goes to the grand jury. ("Aggravated D.U.I." is a type of DUI when you purposely kill a person (mainly a passenger or passengers or pedestrians) through reckless homicide while you are legally drunk.)

D.U.I.'s involving vehicular homicide (that is, using a vehicle to purposely kill a person) make it by 68 percent. This is the most serious DUI crime....punishable in some states as much as 15-20 years (and in a few cases, life) in prison.

If the D.U.I. only involves the driver and no injuries to the other passengers, only 9 percent make it to the grand jury.

These are only my guesses...

Answer 2

I don't think D.U.I.'s are presented to a Grand Jury, unless there is a traffic fatality involved.
