2018 MADD Nebraska Court Monitoring Briefing
Introduction States can have strong laws and tough enforcement but without consistent outcomes in the court system the message that drunk driving is a serious crime may get lost. The court system is our society’s mechanism for determining an individual’s guilt or innocence. It also sets the parameters of an offender’s punishment, restitution and rehabilitation. Over the past two years, the number of drunk driving deaths nationwide has increased after years of steady decline. Despite a cultural shift in America since Mothers Against Drunk Driving® (MADD) was founded in 1980, drunk driving still remains the biggest killer on our nation’s roadways. More than 10,800 people were killed in drunk driving crashes in 2017. MADD believes there will come a day when there are No More Victims® of drunk driving. MADD’s guiding force to achieve this goal is the Campaign to Eliminate Drunk Driving — supporting high-visibility law enforcement, advocating for ignition interlocks for all drunk driving offenders, pushing for development of advanced vehicle technology and drawing upon public support for these initiatives. A Look at Drunk Driving in Nebraska In 2018, 33 percent of fatal crashes were alcohol-related in Nebraska. This number is down slightly from the average of 34 percent of the previous four years (2014-2017). The number of DUI Arrests have decreased from 10,718 in 2012 to 6,827 in 2018 while the Alcohol Related Fatal Crashes and Fatalities has varied over the years.

MADD Nebraska and Highway Safety Advocates can work on reducing the number of alcohol-related motor vehicle crashes on state roadways by addressing the number of arrests and convictions for all offenses. Court monitoring is intended to enhance transparency and accountability within the criminal justice system and reduce the likelihood of repeat drunk driving offenses. Studies show that consistently placing an observer in the courtroom has a positive effect on case disposition. Standardized reporting used by court monitors contributes to an increase in information that can result
1
in higher conviction rates. When monitors cannot be in court, they collect data through online records in a process called data mining.
The Case for Court Monitoring Research has shown that first-time DUI offenders have driven drunk an average of 87 times before they are arrested (Zader, Krawchuk, Moore, 1997). The primary reason drivers continue to drive drunk is because they can. Nationally, about one-third of all drivers arrested for DUI have had a previous drunk driving conviction, which is similar to Nebraska’s rate. Across the country, DUI cases are often handled inconsistently, amended to a lesser charge, or simply dismissed by the justice system. MADD Nebraska advocates for swift and equitable treatment for all DUI cases. MADD’s Court Monitoring Program (CMP) was designed to ensure that DUI arrests are prosecuted, unwarranted dismissals are decreased and justice is achieved. Goals of the CMP are to: • Compile pertinent information on how DUI court cases are handled from county to county. • Share mutual concerns about the outcomes of criminal cases with professionals in the legal arena. • Report information gathered by trained volunteers to relevant entities and community members to ensure the system can be maintained and improved. To achieve these goals, MADD Nebraska utilized trained volunteers to observe court procedures and collect pertinent information in DUI cases. Types of data collected included offense type, age and gender of the offender and sanctions imposed. MADD also worked closely with law enforcement, prosecutors and vested partners to relay data collected from the court monitoring program to show trends, patterns and behaviors when it comes to drunk driving enforcement and prosecution in those counties. County Selection The fifteen priority counties included in the MADD Court Monitoring Evaluation and Education Project account for 1,414,651 residents or 74% of the Nebraska population. The fifteen counties are: Adams, Buffalo, Custer, Dodge, Douglas, Gage, Hall, Lancaster, Lincoln, Madison, Platte, Sarpy, Saunders, Washington and York. These counties were identified by the Nebraska Office of Highway Safety (NOHS) as having either a high crash rate for alcohol, speed and/or alcohol use by youth. The target population consists of offenders arrested for DUI. It is imperative that courts take a strong look at the effectiveness of DUI adjudication and how those actions contribute to the progress in reducing impaired driving fatalities and recidivism. Residents will benefit from a court monitoring program focused on the criminal justice system and sentencing outcomes. MADD Nebraska worked closely with law enforcement, prosecutors, court personnel, and vested partners to collect data. Information will illustrate trends, patterns, and behaviors surrounding impaired driving enforcement and prosecution.

Quantitative Data Collection Court Monitoring Program data were obtained from two sources: court trial forms, completed by MADD Nebraska staff and volunteers, and the Nebraska Trial Courts Case Search System database, hereafter called Justice. CMP volunteers included concerned community members, college students interested in volunteering and/or requiring internship hours for a class, and retired adults. Data from the court trial forms were collected from four categories: 1) case information, 2) charges, 3) sanctions/sentence and 4) comments. Examples of case information included defendant name, date of birth and name and location of court. Charges recorded included the original charge, final charge, amended, and arresting agency. Examples of sanctions/sentences imposed included jail time, fines, ignition interlock, license suspension/revocation, and probation. Information collected by court program monitors were verified by MADD Nebraska CMP staff through records accessed from Justice. This database provided a detailed record of each DUI case presented to the court. Case information, charges, and sanctions imposed were available through the Justice system. Data obtained from the Justice database was compared to information recorded on the court trial form to assure accuracy of data collection by court program monitors. Case files with Case Year 2018 were utilized for the data collection. Close to one hundred percent of all cases were included in the analysis if a county had 300 or fewer DUI arrests in the year of interest for analysis. If a county had more than 300 DUI arrests (i.e., Hall County) a random number of cases, for a total of close to 300 were chosen for analysis for expedited data analysis. Data Analysis Data from closed and misdemeanor DUI cases with sanctions imposed were entered into Microsoft Excel spreadsheets for analysis. Variables of interest for this report included rulings, number and type of amended cases, length of case, offender age and gender, offense type, and sanctions imposed. Data was reported by frequencies, percentages, and averages.

Case Analysis for all 15 Counties: Adams, Buffalo, Custer, Dodge, Douglas, Gage, Hall, Lancaster, Lincoln, Madison, Platte, Sarpy, Saunders, Washington and York
Statewide there were 6,827 arrests recorded by NDOT – Office of Highway Safety in 2018. MADD analyzed 2,297 DUI cases that occurred in 2018. This represents 34% of the total cases. These cases were primarily misdemeanor charges, unless the individual was charged with a DUI 3 rd .15+ or higher – those are considered felony offenses in the state of Nebraska. Of the 2,297 cases, 2,288 were closed and adjudicated by the time this report was printed. One case had a bench warrant and 8 cases were still open and in the process of going through the judicial system.

Adjudication Summary for all 15 Counties in 2018:
Below is a breakdown of the findings for the 2,288 closed cases. Fifty five percent of the offenders pled and were found guilty of the original DUI charge. Thirty six percent of the offenders pled and were found guilty of an amended DUI charge. MADD believes that all who are charged with DUI offenses should be prosecuted as charged, rather than be allowed to negotiate to a lesser offense, especially a non-alcohol related offense.

Ignition Interlock 2018 In Nebraska, ignition interlock installation became mandatory for all those convicted of DUI in 2013. Ignition interlocks save lives by requiring convicted drunk drivers to prove they are sober before their car will start. Ignition interlocks are proven effective — on average, ignition interlocks reduce repeat drunk driving offenses by 67 percent.
