Do not quote me on that)

Ok, just googled felony speeding and I am mistaken. You can get a felony but it is for related charges, not the speeding.


But that raises a different issue. I thought in Kansas a DUI was usually a misdemeanor and that you could only get a public defender for a felony. Did they hit you with a felony DUI? I thought you had said somewhere that it was your first one?

Not meaning to be nosy but this is a story that is a year old now and it would be unfair of you not to give us a conslusion, ya know?


.

I know that if you're 15+ over the speed limit and you kill someone, it automatically makes it manslaughter.

DUI is a misdemeanor here. As I understand it, you have a right to representation if you're charged with anything they can incarcerate you for a certain period for. I think it's 1yr
