Whats the point of hiring a lawyer to try and fight it when he took a breathalizer test and had a result doubling .08?
LOL
You must have never gotten a DUI or known anyone who has.
Its almost automatic that they reduced the charges to Reckless. There are millions of random arguements that lawyers can use:
-Have you ever heard about the "Highp Protein Diet Defense" in DUI cases? Something tells me Lofa eats a high protein diet.
-Do you ever get heart burn? Well my expert witness will testify in court that heart burn can ruin any breath test results.
-Are you on any prescription meds?
-Did you burp 15 minutes before you blew?
-Did you have gum in your mouth?
and all that is not even getting into the meat of the arguements.
-Did the cop follow procedure when he pulled you over?
-Did the cop even have a right to pull you over?
-Was the breathalyzer calibrated properly? (big problem here in WA)
-Did you understand your rights at the time?
-Did you talk to a lawyer before you blew?
-Was the cop in his jurisdiction?
-How long did the cop follow you before he pulled you over
I can go on for days. A good lawyer could make a good case out of any ONE of those questions. I have never heard of anyone with a lawyer ever getting more than a reckless, and I would say more than 40% get off with NOTHING.... regardless of if they blew a .09 or .25.
My associate just got pulled over for his 3rd DUI in less than 2 years. Guess what happened when he got a good lawyer......DROPPED
