DUI as a Crime of Violence. In the case of Leocal v. Ashcroft, the issue before the Supreme Court was whether a DUI crime is a crime of violence (deportable offense) for the purposes of an aggravated felony conviction.
If the prosecutor charges it as felony DUI, the defendant faces up to 3 years state prison (plus an additional year for each additional person who is injured). Worse still, if any of the injured parties is seriously hurt, the DUI defendant may be charged with a great bodily injury enhancement.
