It sounds like you should appeal or ask for a new trial if the time limits have not passed. Discuss this with your lawyer.

What happens when you get a DUI with a high BAC? How?

Any sentence depends on the Judge, but due to the BAC the statute allows the Judge to double the statutory sentence. He needs to speak to an attorney immediately. Jail would be up to the Judge, some Judges put all younger offenders inside in an effort to "scare them straight"

Can I be convicted of DUI if I wasn't the one driving?

Answered by attorney Jason William Savela
DUI/DWI lawyer at The Savela Law Firm, P.C.
I have successfully gotten a similar case dismissed. But, understand that there is some culpability on your part in trying to trick the cop. BTW - you might still have a DMV issue since you were behind the wheel with the keys in the ignition. That is actual physical control and your drivers license could be revoked. In response to your DUI Post: I am a criminal defense attorney with more than 15 years experience on DUI cases. If you would like to discuss your case, please contact me. Some important information- If you have been served with a Notice of Revocation, then you have 7 days to request a hearing. Please do that immediately by going to your local DMV office, tell them you got a DUI and you want to request a hearing. They will give you a form. DO NOT REQUEST THE OFFICER. We can do that later if we choose to, but most often it means you will lose. The receipt DMV gives you allows you to drive until the day of the hearing. Request a copy of the Expressed Consent Packet. Representation begins when client pays attorney an agreed upon retainer and returns a signed fee agreement.
