A: how are you doing?
J: I'm ok. I wish I could say the same for my friend.
A: what happened to him?
J: he was arrested by the police for drinking and driving.
A: was it his first offence?
J: unfortunately not. He was charged with a DUI when he was in university.
A: what happened to him then?
J: not much; it was a minor offence back then. He got away with a fine of $500.
A: did they take his license away?
J: no, they were really easy on him. The problem is that that was a long time ago. They are much tougher on crime now.
A: what do you think will happen to him?
J: well, he'll definitely lose his license, pay a fine, and maybe even spend some time in jail.
A: that doesn't sound too promising. Does he have a defence lawyer?
J: not yet. If we can't find a lawyer for him, then the state will appoint him with one.
A: my sister is a lawyer. I can ask her if she can help him.
J: that'd be great! I know he'd appreciate your help.
