My question involves criminal law for the state of: Missouri
Recently a close family member was in a DWI accident that hurt a person in another vehicle. She was also hurt. Other than this her permanent record is clean, so this will be a first offense. Since then she's been googling what kind of trouble she is in, and she see's web sites that tell her she could get up to 70 years in jail. We are all very scared at this point. Is it really possible that this one horrible mistake could really lock her away for a very long time?
