KML - Yes, they took her drivers license but she still gets a temporary license which is good for 30 days and allows her to drive until the DMV formally suspends the license. The DMV hearing is in late December.
Her first court appearance will be later this month, which she will then find what the state is going to go after. Because there was a minor injury to the other driver and her blood alcohol count was super high (.26), I'm not sure how the lawyer will to get away with lowering some of these penalties:
Felony hit and run (involving an injury or death) include: [list] [*]$1,000 to $10,000 in fines [misdemeanor up to $1,000 in fines] [*]Up to 1 year in county jail if the accident caused a minor injury [misdemeanor up to 6 months in county jail][i]
First Offense DUI [list] [*]License suspension of 4 months or longer [*]Up to 6 months in jail [*]Fines and fees of up to $3,600 dollars [i](Total cost can range up to $15,649) [*]3 months of DUI school [*]Possible installation of an ignition interlock device on your vehicle [*]3-5 years DUI probation
This is going to be expensive, but less than that, I'm really hoping she will serve a little time if for no other reason than to meet life on life's terms, reflect on what's happened and decide what's truly important for her life going forward.
My prayer is that her heart be flooded with light, to make her intelligent and discerning in knowing Him personally, so that her eyes are focused and clear so she can see something of the future He has called her to share –– and that she will begin to understand the immensity of His power who is able to help us with endless energy, boundless strength if we would just trust and believe Him at His word.
