The Defendant was stopped for speeding 20 mph over the speed limit. She appeared confused and disoriented and her eyes were bloodshot and glassy. Additionally, she had slurred and raspy speech and smelled like alcohol. She said she was coming from a festival and that she had consumed Mimosas during the day. She performed poorly on the roadsides and was arrested for DUI. Once taken to the jail, she refused to provide a breath sample. The Firm ordered the videos in the case and reviewed them prior to the arraignment. After reviewing them, it was clear that there were numerous inconsistencies with the reports and the videos. After speaking the State Attorneys Office about these issues, all charges were dropped.
