Mandatory Jail And 5 Year License Suspension Avoided On Second DUI
Case #2: SRQ 2010CT002699
This client was facing a second DUI conviction within 10 years, which meant mandatory jail and a mandatory 5 year license suspension. Our client was stopped for speeding. The officers that pulled the defendant over claimed to smell alcohol. AnneMarie Rizzo’s client admitted to having several drinks. Her client performed poorly on Field Sobriety Tests and refused a breath test following the arrest. AnneMarie took depositions and gathered evidence as part of her investigation into the case. During this process her client never lost his license. AnneMarie set her client’s case for trial but before trial the Prosecutor decided to drop the DUI to a reckless driving with no conviction.
