CRIMINAL CASE RESULTS

OUR RECENT CRIMINAL DEFENSE VICTORIES

Mar 21, 2022 Case: 21-MM-003709 Judge D. Roberts
Facts: The defendant was stopped for driving with her high beams on. The officer noticed an odor of alcohol, slurred speech, and she stated she had one beer. The defendant performed the HGN (eye test) and refused to perform any other field sobriety tests. She was arrested for DUI and later refused the breath test. Marijuana was found and she was also charged with possession.
Defense: After several negotiations, we pointed out that on tape the defendant's speech was not slurred and she did not appear to be impaired. Thus, we pointed out that there was lack of probable cause to arrest her. The State Dropped the DUI and she also received no conviction in the possession charge.
Result: The State dropped the DUI.

Defense: The firm announced ready for trial. Prior to trial, we pointed out that on tape, her speech was not slurred at all. In addition, the video tape performance of her roadside tests clearly showed a lack of probable cause to arrest her.
