Is there any possibility to completely skip jail time and do however much home detention the prosecution desires for a third DUI?
In Colorado, the sentencing for crimes can vary and may include options such as home detention. However, the specifics depend on the nature of the crime and the circumstances of the case. For instance, a person sentenced to county jail may be eligible for work release and home detention, while a person sentenced to the Department of Corrections generally may not.
Here, it is likely there will be some jail time or work-release. Having said that, if there is a medical-related issue and it’s been at least 5 years since the last DUI it's possible. There also may be other possibilities to avoid jail time based on your particular circumstances.
I would recommend speaking with our criminal defense team to see what is possible based on the unique circumstances of your case. The best way to get clarity would be to speak with an attorney.
