What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? PA
This is probably going to sound like a stupid ? that said why do attorney(s) when asked what the penalities can be for a dui tell you and then at the end always tack on the phrase "keep in mind that the Judge can do whatever he wants to do?" Are'nt judges required to rule within the law ie.. min-max sentences? Is this pharse something attorneys are required to say? I've spoken to several lawyers and they all seem to tack on some version of this statement
