Re: Morale Dilema
2 things here:
1) Why does everyone always assume that DUI = alcoholic? Unless I missed it in one of the replies, OP never said that his friend was an alcoholic, yet people are still talking about going to AA, and how the friend should deal with his addiction. IMO, DUI's are just the result of general irresponsibility and bad decision-making at least as often as they are the result of an addiction. The fact that the friend hasn't had a DUI in 20 years makes it even less likely he's an addict.
2. This whole plan's a terrible idea. It's probably more likely to hurt your friend's defense than help it. In order for them to even charge him, he had to have his keys with him, and the fact that you weren't on the scene shortly after the arrest will look very suspicious. Just have your friend get a good lawyer and let him try to figure a way to get him off the charges.
