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 would not be the only one to recognize Charrise Black on this day.The Commonwealth noted on her stellar performance; even when major loopholes and laws change she still got the job done. She says the ever changing challenge is what makes her strive to do the best she can at her job and keeps her motivated ever day.

“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.”

Her few tears became a downpour as a special member from the audience approached the stage. Kaye Walsh, who was the person who nominated her, had one more gift to give Black. For representing and defending her daughter, killed by a drunk driver, in court she offered a pair of her daughters earrings to Black and thanked her for her duties. 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!
