| All DUI cases filed in the Savannah - Chatham County jurisdiction and all cases bound over to the State Court are screened for eligibility for the DUI Court program. Criminal histories and driver's record of all persons cited in those DUI cases are reviewed by the District Attorney for eligibility. Included in the DUI Court program are all cases where there is a second DUI offense within a five year period or a third or greater DUI offense in the accused's lifetime. All such cases are sent directly to the DUI Court for arraignment and adjudication. Cases not otherwise qualified may, at the discretion of a sentencing judge, also be included. |
