Morale Dilema

[GambleGamble]

Friend gets tagged for DWI....yes we all know its wrong and he is an idiot etc....its 3rd offense I believe and a felony...yes I still know he is a complete piece of [censored] and sucks at life...but the first 2 happened 20 years ago etc....

...situation is that he was not driving when it happened he was on side of road with flat when cops pulled up and arrested him, they never seen him physically drive the vehicle....if found guilty loses driving privledges for year which means he cant drive his kids or see him really for that matter (divorced) and pays ton of cash he doesnt have in fines etc....

All you have to do is testify that you drove car but left him there for whatever reasonable reason you could think of....

..What do you do? testify and get him off? or say sorry buddy you gotta pay the price?

agree although you committing perjury is probably not the best route to go. However, if you can broker some kind of under the table deal where he goes and takes some classes or does community service (not uncommon in the slightest for the borderline cases) then I think this is the best route to go.

classes or community service are not gonna help this guy if he's an alcoholic. Alcoholism is a genetic thing. It takes extreme consequences for them to change. ie. hitting rock bottom. Help a brotha out and your only keeping him from his consequences and encouraging the same behavior in the future.
Think about it, this guy went out drunk driving knowing he could jeopardize his kids lives (let alone his own life or someone he could of hit and killed). Do you see the insanity of his actions.
I would venture to say that most ppl who vote to help him out have never come in to contact with a multi dui offender before. They only see his actions as harmless fun(rightfully so as they don't understand the sickness), when it is much much deeper than that.
I wish the best of luck to your friend. Most of theses ppl end up dead or in jail.

i was skeptical before i opened the thread, but you do have a genuine morale dilema here

[JJSCOTT2]

first of all, i don't think morale is the word you're looking for here. Second, unless he admitted it, if the cops never saw him driving, he doesn't have anything to worry about and you don't need to bother testifying.

[WhoIam]

I'm pretty sure people have been convicted of DUIs after being found sleeping in their car by the side of the road so I don't think the "cop never actually saw him driving" defense would work.

There is no morale dilemma here.

This is nothing but bad for morale for all involved.
