by Collin, Dallas and Denton County DWI Lawyer Troy Burleson
1. Simply put, if you plead guilty, you have zero (0) chance of winning your case. Regardless of the facts of your case, you always have a chance at winning if you set your case for a trial. As we have reported here before, many things can happen to torpedo the State’s case against you. Witnesses may not show, or if they do, they may be unprepared, evidence may be lost or ruled inadmissible, or you may get a favorable jury. Any of these facts, and many others, are reasons why it is advisable to set your Texas DWI for a jury trial;
2. At trial, 6 people have to agree, BEYOND a reasonable doubt, that you are guilty instead of having a judge or prosecutor decide if you are guilty or not;
3. Jurors have real life experiences that may make them sympathetic to you and your situation.
