What are the rights of a defendant in a drunk driving case?

Drunk driving instances become a DUI when the misdemeanor has been committed more than once. Strict laws and legislations apply to deal with DUI cases throughout every state in America. A convict may try for nullifying DUI charges and for doing so the convict needs to understand his rights as a defendant. Here is a short compilation:

• The defendant is innocent until proven guilty and any kind of accusation should not be forced upon the defendant.
• The standard right that all defendants have is to be read their Miranda Rights. The Miranda Right is the act of remaining silent when accused and to appoint a lawyer for dealing the case.
• The defendant cannot be kept in prison for more than 24 hours if the crime is not charged and also the defendant has the right to request for lawyer immediately after arrest.
• The defendant has the right of a fair trail under the Bill of Rights and the Constitution. The defendant has the right to request for a speedy trial and also have a jury, if the defendant prefers.
• The defendant has the right to confront the witnesses and the accuser, and the defendant cannot be charged for the same crime twice.
• The Fifth Amendment of the US Constitution Laws bars from putting the defendant in double jeopardy, which is, prosecuting the defendant for a crime that has already been tried and closed.

For nullifying DUI charges, the defendant needs to be aware of all the rights provided by the constitution.
