A friend of mine was arrested after crashing her car at 10am. She blew 125mg, claiming that she had drunk after the crash (there was a period of about 20 minutes between the crash and the police arriving). She hasn't yet been charged but was released on bail while the alcohol containers found in her vehicle were sent off to forensic's.
From the little I know, it seems impossible that someone could consume that much alcohol over such a short period. I've told her that she should get a solicitor and plead guilty as it would be obvious that she is lying (which she denies). I am seriously worried that this will end up in a custodial sentence for her. There is a history of depression and she is on medication which has been increased since the incident. From what information I can gather even if she pleads guilty a sentence is possible. Any advice appreciated.
