The Defendant was located by law enforcement parked in a turn lane and asleep behind the wheel of a running car. The officer noticed signs of impairment and the Defendant was subsequently arrested and charged with DUI (second with 5 years). The charged carried a mandatory 10 day jail sentence and the Defendant faced the prospect of losing his job if convicted. The attorney forced the case to trial while assertively pointing out flaws in the state’s case. Just prior to jury selection, the prosecutor dropped the DUI charge.
