Felony DUI is a serious offense that could result in up to 25 years of prison. Different from DUI, felony DUI is charge given to people who have had three drunk driving offenses in seven years, been invloved in an accident that injures another person, or involved in an accident that kills another person.

Given the nature of the crime, the penalties for felony DUI include one to six years or more in prison, a significant monetary fine, a revocation of a driver's license, and mandatory drug abuse treatment.

While driving drunk in Las Vegas could mean jail time and other related penalties, it has carried an even higher cost in China until recently. In some past cases of drunk driving in China, convicted offenders have received the death penalty.

 However, an appeals court in China recently overturned a death penalty verdict of a 30-year-old woman. The woman was convicted of drunk driving after killing four people in a drunk driving accident last December. 

Instead of the harsh penalty, the woman received life in prison. The ruling may signal a reversal in Chinese policy toward drunk driving convictions. 

While driving drunk in Las Vegas will not get you the death penalty, it could lead to many other serious penalties. If you have been arrested for a DUI, contact the Las Vegas DUI attorneys of Palmer & Associates, P.C., at 702-893-3350.
