The client was stopped for speeding. Once stopped the officer believed the defendant was impaired by alcohol and asked the client to submit to sobriety exercises. The client performed well but was still arrested for DUI. After a long amount of time passed the client submitted to a breath sample that was more than 3 times the legal limit. The firm immediately requested the video in the case. It was argued to the Assistant State Attorney that the DUI should be dismissed as a result of the conflicting evidence presented by the good sobriety exercises, and the high breath sample. After the trial in the matter was delayed several times due to the pandemic, that State finally agreed to dismiss the DUI.
