DUI? We Don’t Clown Around
October 2020
In an update to a case in Cobb County State Court, Marietta, Georgia, my client’s DUI case reduced, and he won’t need to be on probation. He faced a DUI Less Safe charge. This means the State didn’t have evidence of his Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) being over 0.08. But the arresting officer still believed that upon leaving a party, our client’s driving indicated intoxication. After being stopped, my terrified client submitted to the standardized Field Sobriety Tests (FSTs). I fly-specked the police videos and reports for issues.
Finding problems, I persuaded the prosecutor enough doubt existed to warrant a reduction in my client’s charge. And, as my client is a young professional, I convinced both the prosecutor and judge to allow my client’s probation sentence to terminate upon satisfaction of all agreed upon terms. Which, following my advice, they’d done before even entering a plea. Though being arrested for a DUI is no fun at all, in the end, my client had a good day in court.
