I know it's quite popular to beat up on judges, "runaway juries" and lawyers, but I don't think common sense has left the law. In any case, DUI laws vary from state to state. Whether sitting behind the wheel of a car with the keys in the ignition and alcohol running in your blood constitutes OWI/DWI/DUI depends on state law. Also, there are sound reasons for allowing prosecutors to charge people with OWI/DWI/DUI for just sitting behind the wheel.
