A parent is arrested under the new “Leandra’s Law” reports a New York Car Accident Lawyer

The strict new DWI law known as Leandra’s Law went into effect December 18, 2009. The law was created after an eleven year old Leandra Lewis was killed in a car accident caused because the driver of the vehicle had been intoxicated. The law has now harsher than ever. Now any adult caught driving while impaired with a child under the age of 16 years may be charged with an E felony and faces up to 4 years in prison. A driver who is impaired and causes the death of a child less than 16 years may face up to 25 years in prison and a B Felony. The police will also report the parent/ guardian of the child to the Statewide Central Register of Child Abuse and Maltreatment.
Just days after the law was enacted, one mother have been arrested. She was pulled over by police after they noticed her car swerving on the New York State Thruway. Once the vehicle was stopped, they gave her a Breathalyzer and found her to have a Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) of .20, twice the legal limit of .08. The woman had her 9 year old daughter in the car when she was pulled over. She has been charged with endangering the welfare of a child and aggravated DWI with a child in the vehicle. Her daughter was released into the grandmother’s custody. The mother was held in Oneida County jail.

DWI for Eric Carmen - a New York Criminal Attorney can help if you're arrested.

It's been reported that Singer Songwriter Eric Carmen was arrested for DUI / DWI last night in Ohio. In an official statement from Ohio Law enforecement which included details of the accident, the spokesperson stated that Carmen crashed his vehicle into a fire hydrant. There was no report of injuries. Carmen is known as the man that brought you '80s hits "Hungry Eyes" and "All By Myself."

Carmen was found next to a half-empty bottle of vodka.. The singer, who was the leader of the pop group The Raspberries handed the arresting police officers his credit card instead of a drivers license and then came up about three times the legal limit in the Buckeye State. The legal limit in OhIo is .08 BAC DWI / DUI which is the same as that in New York.

Carmen could be facing some serious consequences of this arrest as it is his second for DUI / DWI. It further appears Carmen is in need of counseling as this the amount of alcohol in his system was very near the level of alcohol poisoning and appears to be consistent with a binge drinking problem. If this situation happens to you in the New York area a New York Criminal Lawyer would be invaluable to you. This type of case especally with a prior for the same criminal charge and with a reading that high could likely end you up in jail. Not having a Lawyer could make matters worse but having the right lawyer may keep you out of jail.

There is a video of the arrest, depending on when it was taken, could be more significan't than the breathalyzer reading depending on how Carmen looks. This is one of those instances where a picture is worth a thousand words

Khloe Kardashian Gets Time in Jail-A NewYork Criminal Lawyer Could Get Time Reduced

Khloe Kardashian's could wind up in jail.

The reality show performer and daughter of the late Robert Kardashian admitted during a July 3 court hearing that she violated her probation stemming from a drunken driving arrest(dui/dwi), according to the records of the court.

Khloe Kardashian could be spending 30 days in the klink. The younger sister of Kim and co-star of 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians,' will be carted off to jail after admitting that she violated her drunk driving parole.

An LA Superior Court judge ordered Kardashian, who's featured on E! Entertainment Television's "Keeping Up With the Kardashians," to turn herself over to authorities and begin serving up to a month in jail.

Kardashian will be required to enter an alcohol treatment program - one of the terms of probation she didn't finish - within three weeks of her release. She remains on probation.

"Khloe is ready and willing to serve out her sentence," her publicist, Jeff Raymond, told The Associated Press.

Nobody's sure how long Kardashian, 23, will remain in jail. Famous celebrities, including the likes of Paris Hilton, have served shortened sentences because of certain situations such as overcrowded prisons.

If you are facing jail time in In any of the New York City Boroughs, hiring a New York Criminal Lawyer is essential for you. Not having an experienced Criminal Attorney may lead to a longer sentence to serve.

Her drunken driving arrest was featured in an episode of the E! series. Her father became well known when he represented O.J. Simpson after Simpson was accused of murdering Nicole Brown Simpson.

One time Velvet Revolver member Scott Weiland entered jail in California. He will serve eight days for a second DUI/DWI conviction. A report from the sheriff's office said that Weiland showed up on time to begin his sentence on Monday.

The wayward singer has been sentenced to a jail term and ordered to pay thousands in fines for his various DUIs. He has been attending a class on alcohol rehabilitation and education. He also pleaded no contest to a previous DUI charge on April 28.

Weiland, 40, has had any number of collisions with the authorities over the years: He was convicted of DUI after a 2003 apprehended in LA arrested on domestic-violence charges in 2001, and arrested for illegal use and possession of drugs in the 1990s.

Without a lawyer, Weiland's punishment could have been much worse. A New York Criminal Lawyer will help you defend yourself. Not having an attorney by your side could lead to conviction and harsh punishment.
