Cases Won – OWI & PAC – 1st (Jury Trial)

JURY TRIAL: Operating While Intoxicated (OWI)-1st  |  Operating With a Prohibited Alcohol Content (PAC)-1st

Police arrested Client around 1:00 a.m. in a parking lot where Client was standing outside his vehicle with his wife and friends. Client failed all the field sobriety tests, and could be seen on video tape slurring his speech, and swaying to the point of nearly falling down. Police claimed they followed the vehicle into the parking lot and saw Client get out of the driver’s side, and one of the passengers confirmed that Client was the driver. The jury heard testimony from the passenger that police had actually threatened to arrest her if she did not identify Client as the driver. Cross examination of officers also revealed several minutes had passed before the police pulled into the parking lot.
