- Six people have to agree on your guilt beyond a reasonable doubt (in a misdemeanor DWI, twelve in a felony DWI)
- In most cases, it is the only way to keep your record clean
- Punishment if you are found guilty will probably be almost identical to punishment if you plea guilty
- DPS decided to assess a surcharge of 3,000-6,000, and a jury trial may be the only way to avoid it.
- The "plea bargain" offered to you was not much of a bargain after all.
- You ARE NOT guilty! Imagine that! The policeman and the District Attorney never even contemplated this possibility.
