CRIMINAL CASE RESULTS

OUR RECENT CRIMINAL DEFENSE VICTORIES

Jun 14, 2006 Case: 2005CT023142SC Judge Denkin
Facts: The investigating officer first noticed the defendant cut off another car while attempting to make a u-turn. The defendant then proceeded to make the u-turn, this time cutting off the officer. He then activated his lights and conducted a traffic stop. The officer noticed an odor of alcohol, bloodshot eyes and extremely slurred speech. While exiting the car he was noticeably unsteady on his feet. During a conversation with the officer, the defendant admitted to taking medication as well as drinking. The officer had him perform field sobriety tests. The video clearly showed that the defendant was unable to perform any of the exercises and was subsequently arrested for DUI. This was his 2nd DUI. It should be noted that our firm took over the case after the defendant's first lawyer told him to plead guilty.
Result: The Court agreed, the motion was granted and the field sobriety tests were thrown out.
