Published in 2018, 2018 DUI Sentencing Chart is a Arizona's sentencing reference showing the exposure that attaches to each charge tier. It documents the mandatory-minimum exposure — jail, fines, license, interlock — that attaches to each Arizona DUI charge tier. Because it is the government's own source material, it sets the standard a DUI case can be measured against — not a standard the defense invented.
What this document establishes
It sets out the mandatory-minimum exposure — jail, fines, license, interlock — that attaches to each Arizona DUI charge tier. As primary-source material, it lets you compare what actually happened in a case against the written standard, rather than relying on how the procedure is described in court.
How it's used in a DUI defense
Knowing the exact exposure by tier is what makes a plea negotiation real rather than a guess. The sentencing charts show the mandatory minimums the prosecutor cannot go below and the ceilings the court cannot exceed, so you can measure any offer against the actual statutory range — and see immediately when a reduction from, say, Extreme to standard DUI changes the mandatory jail and interlock terms.
