Charges: OUI Refusal
Results: NOT GUILTY at Trial
In this OUI case, our client faced both a BMV hearing and a trial. We challenged the arresting officer’s lack of knowledge regarding key facts of the case during the BMV hearing, resulting in the rescinding of a 275-day suspension. Building on this success, we took the same theory to trial, emphasizing the officer’s poor administration of field sobriety tests to the NHTSA standard. A key component for the not guilty verdict was the initial work and cross examination of the officer done at the previous BMV hearing. The jury delivered a NOT GUILTY verdict, highlighting the importance of employing thorough defense strategies at different stages of the legal process.
