DUI REDUCED TO RECKLESS DRIVING (JANUARY 2009)
In yet another case involving a single vehicle accident, Stephen Higgins was able to get the charge reduced to a Reckless Driving. The facts demonstrated that defendant was found in his car on the side of the road which had apparently slid into an embankment. When Hillsborough County deputies arrived, defendant refused to talk, refused to perform field sobriety exercises and refused to provide a breath sample. Commonly referred to as a “Double Refusal Case,” the state attorney simply had very little evidence of impairment. (Ref. No. 9769-XCF)
