An Arizona defense lawyer picked up on a story in the Kingsport Times News about out 10 year look back period. He linked to an article in the Kingsport Times News in which ADA Brandon Heron explained that a driver charged for a DUI 4th offense would end up with a DUI 1st conviction at best due to the 10 year look back period as it now exists in our State. The driver's last conviction was in September, 2000. He had 2 more previously. Since we count conviction to conviction, he would have to be convicted in 4 months, which would include a few months in the grand jury.
A proposal pending in the Tennessee Senate will fix this problem, if passed.
