On October 1, 2010 fifteen people were arrested in Nashville for DUI crimes. Since then, nine of the cases were finished in the Sessions Court. Six were found guilty. Three were dismissed with two of the three pleading to a reckless driving charge.
Meanwhile four cases were bound over and sent to the grand jury.
Two have been delayed more than 10 months and have court dates set later this year.
The wheels turn slowly. Delay is the defendant's best friend. We'll keep watching and see how the cases delayed by a year turn out. In the meantime I hope our prosecutors will try to eliminate unneccessary delay, so that the guilty are convicted and those not guilty are not.
