The criminal penalties for DUI/DWAI cases can vary widely based on a number of different factors including the jurisdiction, blood/breath alcohol content (BAC), whether the suspect refused testing, whether there was an accident, whether the suspect has prior convictions, and many others.
Some DUI dispositions may result in no jail sentence with a short period of probation, while others may have mandatory jail coupled with a lengthy, demanding period of probation. Each case is different. What is clear is that DUI penalties are only getting more severe.
The Colorado legislature is currently debating the institution of a felony DUI offense, which is currently absent from the Colorado criminal code. Even if this law is not created, judges across the state are becoming increasingly more harsh when imposing DUI sentences because of community pressures.
