As I recall, she was under the legal limit and with that fact, the prosecutors have no choice but to drop the charges.

Not so in California, the legal limit is a presumptive limit where the law must assume her to be impaired. Anytime you can prove impairment no matter the alcohol blood leave the DA can prosecute.
“As I recall, she was under the legal limit and with that fact, the prosecutors have no choice but to drop the charges.”
Nope. The limits are nothing but a legal line that requires prosecution. Below the limit still allows for prosecution. Heck, a mere 0.01% BAC could led to a DUI arrest and prosecution in DC. I don’t think it was a Judge or a Pol, but my memory is failing. Maybe Mr. Elk can help me remember.
Well that’s not the way it works in Florida, only sometimes will they drop charges, still forcing you to fight to get your license and possibly get a lawyer.
