Nicole Richie's DUI trial was continued until July 11, 2006.
Richie who was arrested in December 2006 after reports that she was
driving the wrongway on a Los Angeles freeway and was found parked in a
car pool lane and allegedly failed field sobriety tests. She
purportedly admitted taking a prescription drug and smoking
marijuana. In Georgia, DUIs can be based on prescription drug
consumption and marijuana but prosecutors must prove the Defendant is
incapable of driving safely under the influence of the drugs.
This is nearly impossible with marijuana and at best difficult with
prescription drugs. Remember to avoid the rush to
judgment. All defendants in the American Criminal Justice System
are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law with
competent evidence. However, Richie may not want a trial given
she has a criminal history regarding possession of illegal drugs and
was allegedly driving on a suspended license. She might win the
DUI but could lose on the suspended license.
