CASE OF THE WEEK MARCH 21, 2006
DWI CASE EXAMPLE: POST-DWI CONVICTION CHARGES FOR
DRIVING AFTER DWI LICENSE REVOCATION AND
CONDUCT AFTER AN ACCIDENT
(LEAVING THE SCENE OF AN ACCIDENT)

Sponsored by ByeByeDWI.com

CLIENT ARRESTED FOR DRIVING AFTER A DWI SUSPENSION AND LEAVING THE SCENE OF AN ACCIDENT

BASIC FACTS: The defendant was convicted of Driving While Intoxicated after she pleaded to the charge without a lawyer.  A few months later, while her license was still suspended for DWI, she was charged with leaving the scene of an accident after allegedly rear-ending another motorist and causing property damage.

She was also charged with driving a car after her license was suspended.  Because her underlying suspension was for DWI, she faced a mandatory minimum seven days of jail time, and the possibility of up to one year in jail.  She also faced an additional 15 months license suspension if found guilty and $4800 in fines.

She elected to fight the charges and go to trial on these two misdemeanor charges.

DEFENSE:     Actual innocence.  Because there was conflicting evidence that could lead to either a conclusion that the defendant or some one else was the actual driver, and because the defendant wisely chose not to answer any questions when interrogated, this driver was found NOT GUILTY” on both counts after trial.

RESULT:       NOT GUILTY!!!

Attorney Stevens thanks God for this successful defense!!!
