There's a lot of moving parts for a DUI that take a long time. You get arrested, you're in jail for a few hours. You're going to get bonded out on pre-trial and then you're going to get what's called a settlement date in Nashville. You're going to have a court date where there's nobody subpoenaed to be there and you listen to the judge tell you what you're charged with and why you need a lawyer. Let's just say you can't afford a lawyer. You fill out the forms and the public defender gets assigned to your case. Well, then they'll schedule your court date off, probably 6 or 8 weeks in Nashville, and then you'll get what's called a trial date. It means that everybody that's necessary for the case to proceed is scheduled to be there, and you're able to work your case out in general sessions. Typically, you got to be patient and nothing happens fast in the criminal justice
