OUR RECENT VICTORIES

Jun 27, 2012 Case: 2012-CT-003478AXXX Judge Bonavita
Facts: The defendant was stopped for speeding. The officer noticed an odor of alcohol, slow/slurred speech, and the defendant admitted to consuming two drinks. According to the officer, she failed the roadside tests which were not video taped. For example, she mixed up the letters to the alphabet several times on the alphabet test. Furthermore, on the one leg stand, she put her foot down numerous times. Also, on the walk and turn, the first time she tried it she took 16 steps instead of the required 9 steps. She was arrested for DUI and later refused the breath test.
Result: On the morning of trial, the State Dropped the DUI.
Jun 22, 2012 Case: 2011-MM-011427-A Judge Schott
Facts: The defendant was stopped by police based on an anonymous call about a red pickup truck driving in a reckless manner. Officers observed the defendant's truck which matched the description given by the caller. The officer then observed an alleged driving pattern on his in-car video of the defendant. Once stopped, the officer observed an odor of alcohol, slurred speech, and bloodshot eyes. They also found an open bottle of whiskey in the truck. He performed very poorly during the roadside tests on video tape and was arrested for DUI. After his arrest, he blew a .252 and .252 in the breath machine.
Defense: Parks & Braxton filed a pre-trial motion to suppress the lawfulness of the initial stop of the defendant's truck. In our motion, we alleged that the officer did not observe any driving pattern on video tape consistent with a "reckless" driver as required by Florida Law.
Result: On the day of the motion hearing, the State Dropped the DUI.
