Client Found Not Guilty Of DUI Charges Following Trial

Case# 2010CT000884

Our client was stopped by Florida Highway Patrol after several motorists on the interstate called 911 reporting his reckless driving. These motorists claimed our client was swerving in and out of traffic and off the road, almost hitting the guardrail at one point. After the Florida Highway Patrol Trooper stopped our client he noticed a strong odor of alcohol coming from our client and stated he seemed unsteady. Our client refused to perform any roadside field sobriety tests and refused to give a breath test. The client was arrested for DUI. AnneMarie Rizzo gathered evidence and mounted a defense for her client’s case. The Prosecutor was unwilling to negotiate the case and AnneMarie challenged the State’s evidence at trial. After two days of trial AnneMarie convinced the jury to return a verdict of NOT GUILTY for her client.
