My question involves criminal law for the state of: Virginia
I recently received a Drunk in Public charge, I am guilty and have no problem paying the fine. However, how receptive are Judges and Prosecutors to voluntary ASAP(Alcohol Safety Action Program) and upon successful completion, charge be dismissed. I have a prior DUI from 3-4 years ago, but would like to not have another alcohol related charge on my record (in hiring process with local gov. job). ASAP would cost 4x the amount of the fine + court costs. I would gladly pay and take the courses to avoid a conviction. Am I shooting for the stars or do you think the court would be accepting of this proposal? If so, how do I proceed?
Thanks
