FAQ
The circumstances of each case are different. But at a DUI trial, the prosecution's evidence often includes the testimony of the arresting officers and chemical test results showing how much alcohol or what drugs were in the driver's system at the time of the arrest.
A common question for individuals facing DUI charges is the likelihood of their case going to trial. ing to a 2022 study by the California Judicial Council, only about 2% of DUI cases go to trial. This is because most DUI cases are resolved through plea bargains.
Make the evidence clear and understandable. Give the jury road-maps as you put it together with them. Use diagrams or document summaries — anything and everything so the jury understands that you are doing whatever is in your control to give them the tools to put together the evidence.
Explain how your actions have affected others and that you understand why your actions were wrong. Explain Your Circumstances – You may evoke some sympathy from the judge if there were extenuating circumstances for your DUI.
Roughly three out of 10 Californians charged with DUI were not convicted of the crime. Because the burden is on the state to prove that someone was under the influence of a drug or alcohol, there are multiple defenses that an attorney can use to help their clients get their DUI case dismissed.
To win a jury trial, the defense must raise reasonable doubt about the validity and/or accuracy of the test results, as well as mitigating or rebutting the observations and testimony of law enforcement officers involved in your case that lead to their conclusion your ability to drive was impaired.
