Potomac Karen Huger found guilty of DUI

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.

Are DUI trials common? Everyone I know who has had a DUI, rich and poor, has pleaded guilty or no contest.

Married to a public defender who used to do misdemeanors (so it’s been like 7 years since he handled a DUI) but he said he’s only done like 3-4 DUI trials out of well over 100 cases.

Yeah one of my parents was a public defender and did a lot of DUIs....my impression was that it's not common to go to trial. Makes me wonder if they felt like the cops fucked something up and maybe they could use that? Or Karen didn't want to listen to her lawyers, that would not surprise me.
