DUI accused in Ontario should not go to court on their own and plead guilty just to get it over with. Sometimes the charges can be dropped.
You should not plead guilty to a DUI in Ontario without first having a defence lawyer review your case and look for potential problems that could get you off. DUI cases are not “open and shut” and many people are able to get their charges dropped or be found not guilty at trial.While someone working at the courthouse may try to convince you to plead guilty right away this is not necessarily in your best interest. Criminal court case results are generally permanent especially if the accused pleads guilty.
Guilty for DUI = criminal record. Pleading guilty to a DUI will at a minimum result in a criminal record (conviction), a fine, a driving prohibition, and possibly a jail sentence even for a first time offenders.
DUI sentences are always up to the judge. When you plead guilty, what happens to you is not the decision of any government employees other than judge. Some people plead guilty when they could have had the charges dropped or won at trial if had they retained a lawyer to represent them.The judge can jail you even if the Crown is not asking for it.
The accused may plead guilty expecting a non-jail sentence only to later have the judge sentence them to jail. Just because the Crown makes an offer on sentencing does not mean it will be accepted by the judge. After a guilty plea the judge will decide the sentence after hearing the agreed facts. Sometimes the judge will break a jointly recommended sentence and instead jail the accused even if the Crown isn't asking for jail.
