Every year MADD holds a ceremony for who they believe is the top prosecutor of DUI's in the whole nation. This year one of Virginia Beach's finest was honored with a nomination to this honorable award. Hundreds of prosecutors across the country are nominated at a chance to win this prestigious award.
I would like to be the first to say congratulations to Charisse Black for not only the nomination making her the top DUI prosecutor in Virginia Beach. Not only is she the best in the city, she is now the best in the country. In tears as they announced her name, she recently accepted the award. Her work is now known nation wide.
The Commonwealth also took to her great work; stating even with the ever constant changing law and loopholes she still managed to perform her job. She even stated that this was the reasoning that she loved her 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!
