Deferred Prosecution for a Wisconsin DUI? |
Wisconsin Statute §967.055 deals with legislative intent,
amendment of DUI charges, and deferred prosecution. In
short, it generally states that the policy for OWI in Wisconsin
is to vigorously prosecute drunk driving offenses and that any
amendments or dismissal to the charges must be for good cause
and the judge should only approve the amendment or dismissal if
the amendment or dismissal is consistent with deterring drunk
driving. The law also specifically states that a
prosecutor may not place a person in a deferred prosecution
program if the person is accused of or charged with operating
under the influence of intoxicant or other drug.
