Any advice and opinions are greatly appreciated. |
Thank you for your posting, and the opportunity for me to help you by responding to your question.
The answer to your question is that his sentence almost entirely depends on what state you are in. In almost all states, .08% BAC is the legal limit, and being under 21 in many states lowers the legal limit and imposes much more severe punishments, like the one year license suspension in California.
I hope this helps. If this case is in California, or if you do have other questions, ask anytime -- it's my pleasure to help in any way that I can. Thanks again.
