| Nov 6, 2024 | Case: 23-CT-010236 | Judge Taylor |
| Facts: | The defendant was stopped for disobeying the right of way at a traffic control device, by making an illegal U-turn. Officers noticed an odor of alcohol, glossy eyes, and lethargic movements. The defendant admitted to having drank one cocktail. He performed the HGN (eye test), walk and turn, and one legs stand exercises. He was then arrested for DUI and later refused a breath test. This was the defendant's Second DUI. | |
| Defense: | The firm provided the State with the defendant's medical records revealing he had numerous prior injuries which would have caused him to not perform well on the roadside tests. Thus, there was doubt as to whether any impairment was due to his injuries versus alcohol. The State Dropped his Second DUI. | |
| Result: | The State dropped the DUI. | |
