Result: No Conviction
2011CT004773SC (SARASOTA)
The Defendant was stopped for speeding and almost causing an accident. When contacted by law enforcement they noticed he had bloodshot watery eyes, an odor of alcohol, and slurred speech. The Deputies also stated they noticed she was having trouble balancing. The Defendant willingly participated in the Field Sobriety Tests of which the Deputies said he did not do well. The Defendant was then arrested for DUI and refused to give a breath test. As soon as David Haeneland AnneMarie Rizzo were retained they zealously began to advocate for their client to get him the best possible result. AnneMarie and David set the case for trial challenging the State’s evidence. Ultimately the Prosecutor agreed to reduce the charge to Reckless Driving.
