5. Weisberg, Adam: In New Jersey, DWI (driving while intoxicated, also known as DUI, driving under the influence) charges can't be settled by a plea bargain. You have to win. To get the charges thrown out, it's critical that you have a defense that is solid -- a defense that raises a reasonable doubt against the State's case.

The defendant may have been released on bail or his own recognizance, or he may have been required to remain in jail until his arraignment.

Your conviction downgrade would not be upheld by the New Jersey courts and you would be sentenced as if the downgrade never happened.

The State of New Jersey does not recognize any other states downgrade of a DWI/ DUI Charge The State of New Jersey Considers a refusal to submit to any alcohol, blood or urine test the same as an actual conviction for DWI when computing the number of prior offenses A DWI or DUI may be proven by 4 methods: Breath Test Blood Test Urine Test Roadside Physical Tests H.
