As a Boise DUI Lawyer I feel one of the saddest parts of my job is when someone is charged with aggravated driving under the influence. This is a difficult charge because what it means is that someone was driving under the influence of alcohol, drugs or other intoxicating substance and caused great bodily harm, permanent disability or permanent disfigurement to another.
The penalty for aggravated driving under the influence is very serious. This is a felony charge. You can be sentenced to prison for up to 15 years and ordered to pay a fine of up to $5,000. In addition, you will lose your license, beginning upon your release, for up to five years. You will also be ordered to pay restitution.
If that weren't enough, Idaho law allows any evidence of your conviction to be used in a civil proceeding against you. A "conviction" for the purposes of this code section not only includes if you are found guilty but if you plea or get a withheld judgment.
