Without a UA, can I be convicted of DUI under marijuana?
I was charged with driving under the influence of marijuana (originally pulled over for speeding). Upon failing the field sobriety test (in the officers opinion) I was administered a UA. When receiving the evidence submitted by the DA the UA results were left out and no official paperwork was provided to indicate that marijuana was in my system. The officer did seize a pipe and 2 grams of marijuana. Without the UA results why am I even being charged?

Based upon what you have written about there is the possibilitlity that the failure of your field sobriety test coupled with the seized marijuana and pipe may be enough to convict you of the DUI that you have written about even if there is no urine analysis of yourself with results. I suggest that you consult with a competent criminal defense attormey about your matter.
