.20 DWI Blood Warrant Case - Client Not Guilty

The State was stunned to lose a case that was a "certain" win for them. Last week my client's case was dismissed after a hearing on the Motion to Suppress that was filed. The prosecutors for the State were too focused on the outcome of the blood lab results to figure out that they could never prove their case. After trying to explain that my client was not driving WHILE intoxicated for the past year, we finally proved it in trial.

Through the skilled use of cross examination and thanks to our up to the second research, we were able to show the court that the government could not prove WHEN our client was driving, if at all. The arresting officer, Trooper Phipps, pulled up on the client and immediately assumed he was intoxicated, without any probable cause to believe that our client was operating a motor vehicle. Our client was actually almost finished changing his tire when Phipps pulled up.

By bringing out the lack of evidence and the mistakes made during the arrest by Trooper Phipps, our client had all of the evidence suppressed since there was no probable cause for the stop, detention and arrest of our client.

Once again, Trooper Phipps was wrongfully accusing another citizen of breaking the law and had no proof. Unfortunately our client still had to go to jail, post bail and spend time and money appearing in court for over a year before finally being vindicated.

There are some good police officers out there that do their job and are constantly striving to improve themselves and get better at their job. Those officers are to be commended.

For the others, call us and we will fight for your rights . . . others say it . . . we do it!
