BASIC FACTS: At about midnight, a police officer saw two cars approaching.  He was “running radar” and clocked both cars going too fast.  He pursued the faster of the two drivers and stopped him.  The driver pulled into a driveway and stopped his car normally.  The officer interrogated the driver about alcohol consumption with questions like “have you been drinking?” and “how many drinks have you had tonight?”  The officer ordered the driver to hand him his license and registration.  After the driver handed him the license and registration the officer ordered him out of the car for a difficult series of agility maneuvers (that most drivers fail) called “field sobriety tests”.  The driver did not know that he could, and should, refuse these roadside gymnastics.  After a predictable series of “failed field sobriety tests”, the officer asked the driver to blow into a little battery operated gizmo called a “preliminary breath test”.  The driver wisely refused this attempt by the officer to gather evidence against him.  Once at that the police station, the officer read the driver a form and asked him to take another breath test, which the driver politely refused.  The driver was charged with DWI.  After the arrest, the driver hired Attorney Stevens to fight the DWI charge.

DEFENSE:     Actual innocence; this driver was sober.  At trial, Attorney Stevens was able to show that evidence was insufficient to prove the defendant guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.  The defendant was found NOT GUILTY on the DWI charge.. 

RESULT:       NOT GUILTY ON DWI CHARGE!!!

Attorney Stevens thanks God for this successful defense!!!

“But seek first all of His Kingdom and His righteousness, and then all these things taken together will be given you besides.”  Matthew 6:33.
