In a case that began in the City of Kennesaw Municipal Court, our client’s sister called as soon as the arrest for a DUI and Hit and Run. The sister reported concern our client’s drink had been spiked. This would have been the date rape drug, Gamma Hydroxybutyrate (GHB). Alan responded that once her sister was released from jail, she must immediately go the hospital and get her blood tested. Sure enough, her blood test showed indicators of GHB poisoning.

Alan took the affidavits of two emergency room doctors from Wellstar Kennestone Hospital. He submitted them to the prosecuting attorney, along with our client’s medical records. But the city prosecutor was not amenable to dismissing the case. So, we demanded a jury trial and moved the case up to Cobb State Court. We showed the evidence to the Solicitor General. Rather than subjecting our client to the stress and additional cost of a jury trial, all charges were dismissed. Without instructing the client to go get that blood test, there would not have been the needed evidence to secure a dismissal. Additionally, her record will be expunged.
