A former Los Angeles DUI prosecutor explains how to convince a D.A. to dismiss a DUI or drunk driving case.
One key is to understand 2 things that will generally NOT persuade the prosecutor to dismiss the DUI. The first is to show that you've never been in trouble or that you have good moral character. The second is to show you will suffer harsh consequences if convicted of DUI, such as losing your job.
What often WILL convince a D.A. to dismiss is showing problems of proof, of a deficiency in the evidence. This can include problems with the breath testing equipment or blood analysis, or mistakes by the arresting officer.
