The accused had previously been charged with two DUIs in Lincoln County after previously being charged in Morgan County as well. After violating probation in the Morgan County case, she received a lenient sentence of 15 days in jail. When allowed to address the court, the accused testified that after serving her previous 15-day jail sentence, her daughter refused to speak with her for months. Despite probation officers continually reaching out, he said, she failed to comply until the court filed a complaint against her. Cabral also explained that Morgan County had shown her grace and revealed that, before hearing the case, he had been considering a 90-day jail sentence.
