Based on your son's situation, several factors will be considered:
- His previous DUI record may or may not affect the current case.
- The fact that he left the scene could lead to a "hit and run" charge.
- The court will consider the severity of the victim's injuries.
I'd advise him to hire a lawyer to defend his rights.
he has a lawyer, this is for my peace of mind.
Given the details you've provided, here's what might happen:
- The court will evaluate the evidence, including the victim's injuries and any witness statements.
- His previous DUI could potentially influence the court's decision.
- Leaving the scene of an accident might be considered a "hit and run," which is a serious offense.
Please consult with his lawyer for more accurate information.
its a proof that he was not aware of that.
If your son was genuinely unaware that he hit someone, this could possibly be used as a defense in court. However, the final decision will depend on available evidence and the judgment of the court. It's best to discuss this with his lawyer.
what is the worst case scenario?
In the worst case scenario, if convicted for a "hit and run" offense in California, penalties may include:
- Up to 1 year in county jail for a misdemeanor.
- Fine between $*,* and $*,*.
- Suspension of driver's license.
- For a felony, 16 months to 3 years in state prison.
These are general guidelines. The actual outcome may vary.
what is a good scenario?
In the best case scenario, if your son can prove he was genuinely unaware of the accident, the court might dismiss the charges. Alternatively, he may face reduced penalties such as fines or probation. Please consult with his lawyer for more accurate information.
