If the DUI charge is reduced to reckless driving, should the accused include it in a job application as crime conviction?

If you have been found guilty or plead no contest to a reckless driving, you have been convicted of a crime. Usually these charges are misdemeanors so if the application is only asking for felonies the answer is "no" if they are asking for any crime, it is unlikely a truthful answer would be "no." You should consult the attorney who represented your son regarding the answer to provide.

Can he be charged with manslaughter if one of the victims dies of cancer?

Answered by attorney Joseph Briscoe Dane (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at Law Office of Joe Dane
This is only half a question, so I'm not sure I understand it. Since you posted in the DUI category, are you asking if somebody can be charged with manslaughter following a DUI crash where the victim dies of cancer? The prosecution must prove causation - that is that the incident somehow led to the death. But. a defendant unfortunately gets their victims as they are. If the person had a pre-existing condition and this incident wouldn't have killed a healthy person but did kill this person - then yes, a manslaughter charge may be possible. This is WAY beyond a question & answer on the Internet. Whoever this person is that is being accused of manslaughter needs to keep their mouth shut, make NO statements to the police and get the best attorney they can find.

It depends on the county, some counties allow a law enforcement officer to request a continuance, in writing, to a future date. A DUI or traffic lawyer in your area can likely help you.
