Here's some mississippi DUI info, from a (biased) dui factoid page on an attorney's website

Where jury trials are available, success rates for acquittal are surprisingly good. The national average for acquittals is about 50 percent for those accused of drunk driving if their cases are heard by juries. In some jurisdictions, only about 20 percent to 30 percent of all drunk-driving arrests lead to a conviction, while other states have an 80 percent to 90 percent conviction rate.

Sounds like charging someone with a DUI is a lot like sharpening a pencil and inserting it directly into your ear hole.
