OUTCOME: DUI, FTML, Speed Reduced to Reckless Drive
Client was charged with DUI, failure to maintain lane, speeding and no brake light. client had been driving after midnight and admitted to drinking when questioned by the officer. Roadside field sobri...ety testing was performed, and client refused to submit to a test of her breath. Client was a high level employee who had been with the same company for over 20 years. Any jail time or criminal conviction would automatically signal her termination of employment.
After reviewing the video with a respected expert in standardized field sobriety testing under the National Highway Traffic Safety Association protecal, errors in administration of the tests were found. The results of which left the evidence to be undecided. After speaking with the deputy who arrested client, we were able to win her administrative license suspension hearing (preventing her from loosing her driver's license for at least 12 months.) We then negotiated with the prosecutor and explained the evidence found by the expert in reference to the SFSTs performed. The state agreed to reduce the charge from DUI to reckless driving however, they still insisted upon jail time. After presenting the case to the judge, the Court sentenced her to the traffic citation and no jail time. Client paid a fine, kept her license and did not have any criminal convictions upon her background.
