DUI

Client was arrested for DUI and Driving While License Suspended after being found parked in the middle of the road asleep at a light. We emailed the State and pointed out the fact that client was found asleep in the BACKSEAT of the vehicle. The State’s response was that it didn’t matter since client admitted he was driving and then went into the backseat to fall asleep, and the car was running. After trying to explain the law to the State, we realized we just needed to litigate the matter. We filed two motions to suppress and at the hearing presented the judge with a detailed argument about how our client’s confession was inadmissible and even if it weren’t, the State was prohibited from securing a conviction at trial. The judge agreed with us and granted both motions. The State was forced to drop all charges.
