If you have a DUI case in Skagit County and have not received an offer from the Prosecuting Attorney to reduce/amend your DUI, then you still have options. Those options are to proceed with the case and push it to trial (may be a good option, may not be depending on your case) and of course, deferred prosecution. It you chose to push the case to trial this may involve setting the case for a motion hearing to argue the validity of certain evidence. Perhaps getting some evidences suppressed may indeed help your DUI case for trial or result in an offer from the prosecutor. However, in Skagit County (and arguably in some other courts) you must be aware of one pitfall with going to a motion hearing. That pitfall is that the prosecutor may thereafter object (oppose) you entering into the deferred prosecution program.
Unlike Snohomish County DUI cases where the PA wil object to a Deferred Prosecution if you lose the motion hearing, in Skagit County DUI cases the PA "may" object. You must know this before proceeding to the motion to protect your future interests.
