Case No: 4223 EGV - DADE
COUNTY - JUDGE MIRANDA - April 2007 |
|
Facts: My client was involved in a police chase that went through
Miami-Dade County.
When they stopped him he became sick and they had to take him to the
hospital. They took blood at the hospital and it was almost 3 times the
legal limit .217. |
|
Result: Since my client did not do any of the roadside tests,
the entire case was about the blood draw. At the time of the trial, I explained to the State
that they could not get the blood draw into evidence. They panicked and asked for a continuance,
which was denied, and they were forced to dismiss the DUI. |

Case No: 05200557 MM10A - BROWARD COUNTY -
JUDGE ZACK - March 2007 |
|
Facts: My client was stopped in a DUI checkpoint. He failed
the roadside tests and refused the breath test. |
|
Result: At the jail, he became ill and was taken to the hospital.
Blood was taken while at the hospital. On the day of the trial, the State realized that I was
intending to introduce the medical blood results where are more reliable than the breath test
results they were suing. The blood results showed that there was no alcohol in my client system.
The State decided to dismiss the DUI. |

Case No: 056004169 MM10A - BROWARD COUNTY - JUDGE
ROSS - February 2007 |
|
Facts: My client was stopped at a DUI checkpoint. He failed
the roadsides and refused the breath test. This was my client 4th DUI. If he had lost this
case, he would have lost his driver license permanently. He would have also had to go to jail
and also would have had to pay numerous fines and costs. |
|
Result: After taking all of the depositions, it was obvious
that the State had numerous problems. They did not follow the procedures set out in the DUI
guidelines and the officer who administered the roadside tests to my client made no mention
of any DUI characteristics my client had and had no recollection of the roadside tests. Since
this was a 4th DUI, a supervisor for the State was handling the case. They day before I was
scheduled to argue these issues in court, she dismissed the DUI charge. |

Case No: 503657W - MIAMI DADE COUNTY
- JUDGE KRIEGER-MARTIN - February 2007 |
|
Facts: My client was stopped for speeding and failed all the roadside tests
and admitted to having 6 beers. My client refused the breath test. |
|
Result: The officer who conducted the roadside tests is one
of the most distinguished DUI officers in Miami-Dade County. When the State provided me with
all of the reports they intended to use, the page that showed how my client performed on the
roadside tests was missing. When I took this officer deposition, I had him admit that he had
no recollection of these tests and that he had to use his reports to remember said tests. Since
this report was missing, he had no way of refreshing his recollection of these tests. Without
any recollection, the tests did not come into evidence and the DUI had to be dismissed. |

Case No: 05025007 MM10A - BROWARD COUNTY - JUDGE
ZACK - January 2007 |
|
Facts: My client was stopped for speeding on west-bound I-595.
The trooper testified that his speed was over 100 miles per hour. My client failed the roadside
tests and blew .095. |
|
Result: For an unknown reason, the trooper did not activate
his video camera for the speeding infraction and had no explanation for not having the sound
working on the video tape. After arguing several motions on these issues, the State decided
to offer my client a reckless driving and dismiss the DUI. |
