Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol (DUI) – NOT GUILTY AFTER TRIAL

My client was charged with drunk driving and causing a multi-vehicle accident. The occupant of one of the other vehicle’s that my client struck broker her neck in the accident. A few days later, she died at Christ Hospital because of the injuries she sustained from the accident caused by my client. The arresting Chicago Police Officer observed my client to have blood shot /glassy eyes, slurred speech, strong odor of alcoholic beverage on his breath and he was extremely combative. A witness observed my client drinking beer immediately after the accident. Because of the great injuries my client caused to the victims in the crash, the offer made by the prosecution was outrageous. We had no choice but to take this case to trial. On the trial date, numerous police officers testified that my client was heavily intoxicated. On cross-examination we showed that their version of the events were different that one another. We convinced the judge that there was reasonable doubt even with all the evidence against our client. The judge found my client not guilty of ALL CHARGES! Whether it’s a DUI or Murder charge, we hate losing!
