Know your California DUI Rights
- You have the right to enter a plea of not guilty and have a trial before a jury of twelve citizens within 45 days of arraignment.
- You have a right to be represented by your attorney throughout the trial and at all proceedings leading up to the trial.
- If you do not have the money or means to hire an attorney, you may ask the court to appoint one for you without cost to you, and one will be appointed.
- You are presumed innocent of the charges pending against you, and that presumption of innocence will remain with you throughout the trial until the prosecution presents evidence to prove you guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
- At the trial you have the right to confront the witnesses called to testify against you and to cross-examine those witnesses.
- You have the right to present evidence in your own defense and to compel the attendance of witnesses by subpoenas issued by the Clerk of the Court.
