North Georgia’s Trusted DUI And Criminal Defense Attorney Aggressively Protecting Your Rights And Seeking Justice

The defendant was stopped by the police after fleeing from a convenience store where his passenger had stolen two cases of beer. The officer claimed that the defendant, who refused the official breath test, had failed his field sobriety tests. The preliminary roadside breath test was positive for alcohol. The officer claimed that he smelled mouthwash on the defendant’s breath and admitted that mouthwash could interfere with the roadside breath test. I argued that it was reasonable for the defendant to refuse the official breath test because he would not have trusted breath testing in general after the preliminary breath test gave an inaccurate result due to the mouthwash.

The police were summoned to a local business after the bank deposit came up missing. The defendant was arrested after the police searched several employees’ cars and found the missing deposit in the defendant’s glove compartment. The defendant was acquitted after I presented evidence that other employees did not like the defendant and could have planted the money in her car.

The defendant was charged with selling cocaine after an informant allegedly bought cocaine from him. The informant’s car had been rigged with a video camera, which captured the alleged transaction. At trial, the prosecution attempted to play the video, but the judge sustained my objection to the video based on a lack of foundation. As there was no other evidence of the sale, the judge directed a verdict of not guilty.
