A Riverside County man has pleaded not guilty to murder, DUI / DWI with injury and other charges stemming from a crash that killed one woman and seriously injured two others. Douglas Kent Hale, 57, reportedly had a blood alcohol content of .28 and told investigators he had two prior DUI / DWI arrests.

In addition to the extremely serious charges typically brought in a DUI / DWI case involving a death, prior drunk driving convictions can also result in additional penalties. California has a 10-year ‘lookback’ period for DUI / DWI offenses, meaning that if you’re convicted of drunk driving and arrested for driving under the influence within 10 years, you’ll face the penalties of a repeat offender. If more than 10 years passes after your first DUI / DWI arrest, any subsequent drunk driving charge will be treated as a first offense.

If you’re facing a Riverside DUI / DWI charge - either a first-time drunk driving charge or a repeat offense - you need a skilled defense lawyer on your side. An experienced defense attorney from RiversideDUILawyer.com can review your case and craft an aggressive strategy to fight the charges.
