I am above 21, but recieved a DUI in Massachusetts with a minor in my car. He is 12. What will the penalties be?
I was coming home from happy hour and I unexpectedly had to pick my brother up from karate class afterwards. I didn't have that much to drink, just a couple of beers. After I picked up my brother, he is 12, I was pulled over by a cop and tested for a DUI. I blew a .09 and I got out of jail on bail and am awaiting a court trial. What type of consequences will I face having my brother in the car? This is my first DUI.
