DUI Trial Before Jury in Medina
/
We recently had to try a DUI jury trial in another County.
Most of the trial focused on whether the prosecution proved that our client was “under the influence” when he was driving one night.
The jury determined that the prosecution had not done so.
However, the jury did find that the BAC machine correctly measured our client’s breath, and held that the .092 reading (albeit just slightly over the legal limit) was enough for the blood/breath alcohol count. Thus, a mixed bag for the client.
This DUI case reminds us of how important a DUI conviction can be on someone who travels to Canada. If one travels to Canada (for any reason), they will be denied entry if they have a DUI conviction. Our client often has to work in Canada, so this issue was rather big for him.
