2. Jones Law Office: Hiring a criminal defense lawyer is the single most important thing you can do when a serious crime is charged against you or a family member. Finding the right lawyer for your case is not an easy thing to do. It takes some work on your part.
3. Bloom, Michael: When you are charged with a crime, you are a defendant in a lawsuit Ð a lawsuit brought by the government itself. You face the limitless influence and resources the government can use against you.

6. Altschuler & Kulseth: A DUI conviction results in fines, the revocation or suspension of your driver's license, an increase in insurance premiums and possible jail or prison time.
7. David Bjorgaard: the Full Faith and Credit clause does not always allow prosecutors to use another state's prior conviction to enhance a new charge. In fact, there are some circumstances where the DUI statute in a foreign state is so significantly different from the DUI statute in the state where the new charge is being prosecuted that full faith and credit may not be awarded, including:   1. When the blood-alcohol concentration (BAC) level recognized in the foreign state as the "per se" threshold for legal impairment is .08% or higher, and the BAC level referenced by the in-state statute is .10% or higher 2. When the states have different "look back" time limits for how long a prior conviction can be used against a defendant (e.g., If a foreign state only recognizes prior convictions for up to five years and the state pressing a new charge can use a prior conviction for up to 12 years, records in the foreign state may no longer exist).
8. Munoz & Lopez: One disadvantage to plea bargaining is that you lose some of your rights to appeal. Once you have voluntarily pled guilty in exchange for a reduced sentence, you have submitted to the evidence already presented and cannot challenge the sufficiency of the evidence.
9. Jesse Smith: Admission of Testimonial Statements The Court ultimately determined that prior interpretations of the Confrontation Clause mandate that testimonial statements, unlike other out-of-court statements, should not be admitted unless the declarant is unavailable and there is a prior opportunity for cross-examination. Although the Court did not definitively define "testimonial," it stated that the following types of statements, at the very least, should be considered testimonial: Prior testimony at a preliminary hearing (before a grand jury or former trial) Statements made during police interrogations The Court's rationale regarding protecting these types of statements from being improperly admitted into evidence was that they "are modern practices [most closely related to] the abuses at which the Confrontation Clause was directed."
10. Natasha Wrae: Appellate courts frequently state that "a defendant is entitled to a fair trial but not a perfect one" when invoking the "harmless error" doctrine to review trial court decisions. Essentially, the doctrine recognizes that some legal errors, however blatant they may be, are harmless. "Harmless errors" may not warrant a reversal of the trial court's verdict; the error must have possibly affected the outcome of trial before an appellate court will reverse a verdict based on that error.
