I am writing a paper on DUI laws and how they are not severe enough in virginia, and my focus is the laws concerning fatalities or injuries due to an auto accident while driving under the influence. I have searched for laws about this and can find nothing. All I have found is the basic DUI laws. Does anyone know anything about this?? I have to do a 5 minute presentation on this and am coming up extremely short! Help!
You should probably go to your local library or visit the court house if you want accurate information. Unless you luck out and get a Virginia crimnal lawyer answering you on Y!A odds are your info will be not as accurate as it should be. I assure you there are laws, you may just need to go outside the internet to find them. Look up past cases of this and their outcomes, what the punishment was (jail time, community service etc).
