I think the person facing this fourth DUI has a very serious problem, and should have a lawyer with him in court. There are simply too many variables here, and too much is at stake.
The possibilities include fighting the DUI, if there's a legal problem with either the original stop or what happened after that. There may be a way to have this treated as something less than a fourth offense, if enough time has passed sinced the last one. There are other ways an attorney might be able to help as well, depending on the detailed facts of the case.
