Reader’s Question:

I feel like there is no really use for me to fight for my DUI charge here in Fayette, Kentucky because I know they have a very strong case against me. Is it true that my DUI charge may be as good as automatic conviction?

The police and the prosecution have the ultimate constitutional burden to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt; you don’t have to prove your innocence.

In a DUI case, the prosecution is obligated, among other things, to supply the defense with every relevant document and all relevant information in the State’s possession (State Agencies, Police and State Employees) related to the DUI charge. This is commonly referred to “discovery.” The Court should see to it that you are given a fair and speedy trial consistent with the US and Kentucky Constitutions. These are just several important constitutional safeguards which, if neglected by the State, may provide defense issues.
