Teen Gets Harsh Sentence Because of Drunk Facebook Picture

Posted on Jan 29, 2010

A 17 year-old girl was sentenced to 6 months in jail and five years of probation after pleading guilty to criminally negligent homicide and misdemeanor DWI. The charges stem from an incident last May when the underaged teen crashed her car, killing her boyfriend. Her blood alcohol level was .13 (the legal limit is .08).

About a month after that accident, the girl allegedly went to Florida and posted a picture of herself on her Facebook page, calling it "Drunk in Florida."

The judge made it clear when he sentenced the teen that the Facebook photo influenced the sentence, saying, "I'm troubled by your conduct since the crash, and that's the reason for the jail sentence."

FAQ

DUI and DWI

I've been hearing a lot about a program called DADSS - what is it?

Can I beat a show cause summons due to a clerical error?

I was convicted of a second DUI and sentenced to 180 days of jail with 160 suspended, and the 20 days being mandatory. I decided to pull my time on weekends, and when I registered for jail, the captain told me that I'd be pulling 10 days, because it was a misdemeanor it was explained to me that I'd be pulling day for a day.

I fulfilled my 10 days and have now been issued a show cause as to why i didn't pull the remaining 10. After contacting the jail, i've found out that the court did not put MANDATORY on the order for the jail. Do i have a case for dismissal because of this error on the court's part?

I was recently convicted of a DUI in Virginia and received a restricted drivers license. I have to show proof of FR44 insurance. My current policy is within the limits of the FR44 guidelines. Can I bring my policy into the DMV and will that be sufficient, or does it have to come from my insurance carrier? I really would hate to contact them if I do not have to, for the obvious reason of raised rates.
