The Defendant explained to the police that she helped a friend who was being beaten up and that was the only reason she drove. The police arrested her for DUI nevertheless. The defendant blew over twice the legal limit in the state of Florida. Stephen Higgins and Darren Finebloom set the case for trial and used the defense of necessity. Upon review of case law provided to the State Attorney, the State Attorney’s Office reduced the DUI to a Reckless Driving. (Ref. 731836-X)
