Arrested for DUI? You Are Innocent.

Posted by Dayton DUI

in Uncategorized

If you tell your friends that you were arrested for punching someone in the face, their overwhelming reaction will be, "Wow, what happened?" If, however, you tell them that you were arrested for DUI, those same friends will say, "Oh, I'm so sorry." What is the difference? When a person is facing a DUI charge, guilt is assumed.

Americans do not like drunk drivers. If you think that you can win an OVI case by calling the police officer a liar, you will probably lose. One of the biggest mistakes an attorney can make is to position your case so that the jury must choose between believing the officer's version of events or your version of events.

Defending The Accusation Of Slurred Speech (by DaytonDUI)

Posted by Dayton DUI

in DUI Law

A very common observation by law enforcement in an impaired driving investigation is the presence of "slurred speech." Experience trial counsel will look to the totality of evidence to combat the damning accusation of slurred speech.Many traffic stops are now captured on video tape. As the quality of the recordings has improved we are often able to hear exactly what the officer is hearing. Reasonable people can disagree as to whether or not the speech on a video is "slurred" and whether or not it was fair for the officer to describe the speech as slurred. Another, more subtle method...
