Yes, if your sister would like to have her felony DUI charge in Owensboro, Kentucky reduced to a misdemeanor DUI, she can tell the judge on the day of court about that. She can ask the felony dropped to a misdemeanor in exchange for a larger misdemeanor sentence. She can even tell the judge that she would like to avoid having a felony on her record. The judge on her DUI case might just go along with that so she has to take her chances.

There are some other things that she can do to have her felony DUI charge reduced to a misdemeanor DUI. She can inspect her ticket for errors. She has to make sure that the dates and addresses are all listed correctly on her DUI ticket because if she finds an error in the charge, a prosecutor would reduce the ticket down to a misdemeanor if she just continues on with the case. She can also apply and start attending a DUI assistance course before even going to court. Also, whatever happens to her DUI case, she might need the SR22 auto insurance so I suggest she gets an online rate quote now from this website.
