Jan 4, 2012 Case: 0021-XBU Judge Seraphin (JURY TRIAL)

The defendant was initially seen by anonymous concerned citizens driving all over the road. Police dispatch was informed that the defendant had pulled over to the side of the shoulder on the highway. Fire rescue was called to the scene. Sometime later, a State Trooper arrived and found the defendant sitting in the driver's seat of the car awake. The keys to the car were on the dashboard at this point. The officer noticed an odor of alcohol, mumbled/slurred speech, poor balance, and bloodshot eyes. He refused the roadside tests and was arrested for DUI. After his arrest, he admitted to drinking six vodka drinks, coming from a bar, and was on his way home. Also, he took a breath test which resulted in two samples of a .211 and .216. This was the defendant's Second DUI and third DUI arrest.

At jury trial, Parks & Braxton pointed out to the jury that the State presented a lack of evidence by not bringing in any fire rescue workers who initially found the defendant and saw his condition. Also they did not bring in any fire rescue reports, whether the defendant was initially sleeping, and no evidence of how the keys even got on the dashboard. Our other argument to the jury was that the defendant was not in actual physical control of the vehicle because when the officer approached the car the defendant had no "capability" of operating a car without keys in his hands nor in the ignition.

The Jury found the defendant Not Guilty.
