Understanding the Criminal Process
The prosecutor needs to prove that:
- You were driving under the influence
- You were otherwise breaking the law or driving negligently
- Your negligence caused the injuries to the other person
We examine all three points to mount our challenge. In the breath test or field sobriety test you were given the police may have violated procedures invalidating the results. As far as you being negligent, the police most likely arrived after the accident and did not see it. They could well have based their decision on false reports or mere speculation. Finally you may not have caused the accident. Perhaps the other driver was responsible by speeding, failing to yield or being inattentive.
