Silva was already on San Diego DUI probation for a prior, was allegedly the aggressor in a road rage incident with a cop. She was allegedly drunk and had drugs in her system and was driving erratically with the boy in her car.
The cop was charged with felony gross negligent discharge of a firearm and a misdemeanor count of exhibiting a firearm but a San Diego County Superior Court jury acquitted him. The cop's San Diego criminal defense attorney contended Mr. White didn't know the boy was in the car when he fired his weapon.

Silva earlier pled guilty to felony child endangerment and misdemeanor San Diego DUI / drunk driving was ordered to return to court with her San Diego DUI criminal defense attorney on in 3 months to see if she's doing what she's supposed to be doing. Silva's San Diego DUI criminal defense lawyer, Michael Pancer, related how she had a difficult childhood that may explain, but not excuse, much of her behavior. Silva's mother suffered from a drug-abuse problem; she lived in group and foster homes while a teenager. “Ms. Silva stands here today as a changed person,” San Diego DUI criminal defense attorney Pancer said. “She knows that she got a second chance in life and she's not going to waste it.”

If she does waste it, it's four years in prison. So far, Silva had undergone 14 months of treatment for substance abuse and anger problems, gaining praise from several professionals who work to help folks in those treatment centers.

If you need help, hire a San Diego DUI attorney who cares.
