Virginia Beach DUI Prosecutor Awarded Top in the Country by MADD
MADD every year across the nation will nominate DUI prosecutors for the best in the country. This year one of Virginia Beach’s most active DUI prosecutors was nominated for this award. She was one of hundreds whose work earned them the spotlight in MADD’s eyes.
I would like to personally say congratulations to Charisse Black in her accomplishment of Top DUI Prosecutor in not only Virginia Beach, but the whole entire Untied States by MADD. She was in tears as they announced her name as winner of the award. Her countless aggressive prosecutions of drunk drivers, and most recently a drunk driver that injured a Virginia Beach police officer.
MADD was not the only one to note her work on this day, the Commonwealth also took notice to her work stating that it was remarkable how adaptable she was to the ever changing laws on DUI’s and loopholes. Later on in an interview she stated that this was the reason she loved doing this job.
“I think it is the challenge, and the seriousness of the offense. We’ve reduced the BAC to .08%, raised the drinking age to 21, and it is still not working. So the place to get them is in court.”
What really made the presentation personal was one of the families that she helped defended was present. Kaye Walsh, who nominated her and lost her daughter to a drunk driver, gave the prosecutor a pair of her daughters earrings as a thank you for her service. Once again I would like to say that her accomplishment is a great example of why Virginia Beach is a great place to live and congratulations keep it up!
