DUI REDUCED TO RECKLESS DRIVING
Defendant was stopped for weaving within his lane and making an improper lane change. Defendant was asked to perform field sobriety tests and after being arrested, provided breath samples of .150, .125 and .135. Working in tandem, Darren Finebloom and Stephen Higgins reviewed the evidence against the defendant. First, they reviewed the video of the Field Sobriety Tests and noticed that defendants performance was excellent. Second, they filed a motion to suppress the results of the breath samples because of the inconsistent results. On the eve of trial, and despite defendants high breath alcohol content, Darren Finebloom and Stephen Higgins were able to get the charge reduced to Reckless Driving. (Ref. 9230-XCF)
