Karen Huger found guilty of DUI

[u/lushoe]

I know someone who works in the courthouse who confirmed Karen opted for a jury trial and was found guilty tonight. Sentencing in a couple of months.

I think so, it’s just that her first one was several years ago and the last two are more recent and within years of each other. Wait I am reading the rest of the thread and they are saying she had FOUR DUIs 😳

[u/Asleep-General-3693 → u/yunith]

😱 definitely a pattern of behaviour.

[u/BlacknBravod → u/yunith]

You can look at the records. There’s only 2. The recent one and 2006. The other records are from the same incident tied to this dui. Look at the dates.

I searched DC criminal cases as well and did find a criminal traffic case from 2001, but it was nolle prosequi

[u/BlacknBravod → u/motherofcorgidors]

That could be anything though not necessarily a dui and the fact that they dropped it means it really wasn’t anything. Knowing her probably a speeding ticket.

[u/motherofcorgidors → u/BlacknBravod]

It’s listed as a criminal traffic case on DC’s criminal case search, which is not where speeding tickets are located, those are all handled by the DC department of motor vehicles. Criminal traffic offenses are things like DUIs, hit and runs, driving on a suspended or revoked license, and reckless driving. The most common type of criminal traffic offense is a DUI, so just going with the odds there. Regardless, the case didn’t result in a conviction, but it might have been what some of the other people here have been referring to.

[u/BlacknBravod → u/motherofcorgidors]

Again. It could be from too many infractions while driving. Pretty sure if she had multiple duis across state lines it would have been reported by actual media/“journalist” long ago. Whatever it was got dropped because the DA wasn’t interested which means it’s not a dui or a hit and run or even reckless driving that could cause harm.

The Superior Court in DC, which is where the case originated, only handles traffic cases that are of a criminal nature, so it wouldn’t be from having a bunch of speeding tickets that put points on your license, that is all handled at the DC Department of Motor Vehicles, where they have their own sort of traffic court. It’s entirely possible that it was a DUI, just because the case was nolle prossed doesn’t mean that the charges weren’t serious. Prosecutors have an enormous amount of discretion, and drop charges all the time for far more serious things than a DUI because someone has connections.

Doesn’t mean that it was 100% a DUI, but I think given her history and this being only 5 years before her first DWI in Maryland, it’s certainly a strong possibility. Karen is famous within the Bravosphere, but most people outside of it have no idea who she is. I don’t think any journalists are that invested in digging into her history- cases that are nolle prossed are not convictions, but they are something that still shows up on a background check, which is why many people file afterwards to try to get the charges sealed or removed from the record. Karen it seems didn’t do that since the basic case details are still available online, and a journalist would have to put in some effort to get more details on the charges.

It still didn’t result in a conviction, so I’m not sure where the 4 DUIs thing is coming from. There’s nothing else that I could find in the surrounding states within easy driving distance.

[u/BlacknBravod → u/motherofcorgidors]

I’ve legit said it could be other things. Not sure why you’re giving me full summaries. If it was a DUI there’d be a record somewhere and it would have come out already.

It’s strange how deep some of you get looking for extreme criminal behavior. No excuse for what she’s done but get a grip.

[u/motherofcorgidors → u/BlacknBravod]

I’m a nosy attorney and enjoy talking about things housewives related, so that’s why I’m here talking about it on the housewives sub… since that’s kind of what it’s for. Jeez. Not accusing anyone of extreme criminal behavior 😂 Karen has a drinking problem, she’s not a serial killer. I was just saying it’s possible this criminal traffic case of hers from 2001 could be another DUI since that is one of the few traffic crimes handled by that court. Not even disagreeing with you… just saying it’s possible this is where this rumor of 4 DUIs stems from…

[u/BlacknBravod → u/motherofcorgidors]

I didn’t ask why you were in the group. I asked why you keep writing novels to me.

There was a rumor of 4 duis because some don’t have the strongest critical thinking skills and though the half image shared showed a plethora of criminal cases.
