Salisbury Woman Won't Go to Jail While DUI Case Appealed

A Salisbury Township woman who was acquitted of a drunken-driving charge but then convicted by the Northampton County judge, won't have to serve her sentence until she has exhausted her appeals in higher court according to the Easton Express-Times.

Jessica D. Trump, 25, was sentenced April 4 to five days to six months in jail by Judge Michael Koury Jr.

of second-offense drunken driving after she and two other witnesses testified she wasn't the driver of the car, but Koury found her guilty of a general impairment charge.

The case made headlines before the trial because a judge "forced Trump to surrender her driver's license even though she had not been convicted," according to The Morning Call.
