Is Article 894 still a thing for DWI?

My neighbors kid got popped a few weeks ago. Has to go to court soon. I remember this being the way to keep it off your record. Is there something new? The kid has paid a heavy personal price already for this assholery so no need to hammer him on it.

Half the OT has a DUI so you've actually come to the right place.

How so? I need to know how he has paid for it before I decide to be helpful

893 and 894 are still good law. Also many prosecutors have Pretoria diversion program that don't burn your 894

So you're reasoning on giving him a break is that the criminal is a 'good kid' and shouldn't have to pay the proper punishment for the crime he's committed? If this 'kid' wasn't your neighbor and lived in Scotlandville would you feel the same way?
I'm sure he dindu nuffin

Plead not guilty. Get into pti. Get a hardship license.

You can asked the judge to sentence you under Article 894 without a lawyer if your record is clean, if he will do it or not is up to the judge and probably the BAC.
If he does it the kid will have a hefty fine, community service and better keep his arse out of trouble for a year

You can plead guilty to DUI under 894, complete your probation early (where they allow it), then immediately get your drivers license back when the Court dismisses the DUI under 894.
In these cases, the defendant will due all the classes and community service before the plea. I've seen a plea, then dismissal, then restoration of drivers license in a week or less.

Is 894 the same as pleading youthful offender?
Posted on 3/19/17 at 9:31 pm to Broke
I know 90 year olds driving. No way their reaction time is better than most on the OT at drunk levels.

Pretrial diversion is the best route.
An 894 plea is still a conviction and simply allows for an expungement, which is done down the line, costs a few hundred dollars, does not happen automatically, and is not nearly as good as avoiding the conviction in the first place.
Or he might want to hire a lawyer to see if it's even a good case for the state.
Sometimes a local lawyer can get a better deal than a pro se defendant.
If possible, pay the money, however much it is, to get pretrial intervention.
