Aldon Smith and his Defense attorney Josh Bentley have decided to have the Honorable Judge Leland Davis III to be the Judge and Jury for his DUI with serious injury case.
You will recall there was a lot of special treatment for this former NFL player that most San Mateo County Residents arrested for a DUI with serious bodily injury would NOT receive. This was reported to be his 5th DUI.
