So what is your question? The answer is, as Clint Eastwood says, "Do you feel lucky?" You may go to trial and lose in which case it's felony time assuming that this is your third or subsequent OWI. You may get lucky, or you may end up with an OWI 3rd which can get you up to five years in prison. On the other hand if you already have a felony record then, who cares? See, lawyers love to make nit picky arguments about this or that but it's the defendant who goes to prison.
