Case 1

State Vs. D.M.

A University of Georgia police officer pulled over a 21 year old defendant following his visit to a Georgia-Clemson game. He was stopped because his temporary tag on his car fell down from the window and was not visible.

The officer gave the defendant field sobriety tests and later admitted that he had learned field tests from another officer whose grasp of field testing was poor, at best. The officer also failed to inform the defendant the consequences of not submitting to a breath test in the state of Georgia.

The defense called the defendant's friend to the stand during trial because she had been with him that night. She testified that he had not been drinking from midnight until he was stopped at 4:30 a.m., partly because of Athen's closing laws.

After only 35 minutes of deliberation, the jury found the defendant not guilty of DUI.

Case 2

State Vs. P.M.

After working, P.M. went to a tavern to celebrate a co-worker's going away party. He estimated drinking about 3 beers per hour over a 5 hour period. He was later pulled over just before he reached his home.

The police officer told P.M. false information regarding what would happen if he refused the field sobriety tests by stating “nothing”. He also did not read P.M. his Miranda rights.

At a pre-trial motion hearing, we proved that the officer lacked probable cause to arrest P.M. for DUI. No field sobriety tests supported arrest, nor were there any significant manifestations of P.M. being intoxicated. He was given a fine for speeding and his DUI charge was dropped.
