Poll

I have added a non-scientific poll to attempt to recieve your perception of what percentage of DUI cases are resolved in your General Sessions Court or City Court with General Sessions Jurisdiction. You do not have to go study your data to get this answer. I am trying to get a feel for what you believe the answer to be. This came about after I examined all of the implied consent refusal cases in Nashville from December. There were 113 DUI's with refusals. Of those, 11 were bound over or indicted, so far. 33 are still pending. As of this moment that means about 10% went to the Criminal Court. It could go as high as 35%, depending on the pending cases. I am curious if this is typical, high or low. Please fill this out as soon as possible as it may become part of a legislative discussion next week. Thank you!
