Should I take my criminal DUI case to trial?

by Aaron Black • May 13, 2012
Taking a criminal DUI case to trial can be a risky proposition unless you have an experienced Phoenix DUI Lawyer by your side.

Most juries, no matter how liberal, they despise DUI cases. This makes it very difficult to win a trial unless you give the jury something to think about.

Possible DUI Defenses

  • Did the police abuse you?
     
  • Was the blood or breath testing machine not working properly?
     
  • Could your blood or breath actually be below the legal limit?
     
  • Is there no proof you were in actual physical control?
     
  • Do you suffer from physical injuries which impacted your performance on the field sobriety tests?
     
  • There was no probable cause to arrest you
     
  • You weren’t physically in control of the vehicle
     
  • There was no reasonable suspicion to stop you
     
  • You were denied your right to counsel by the police
     
  • Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) was below a .08% at the time of driving
     
  • Your Miranda Rights were violated
     
  • An Illegal blood draw was performed
     
  • The blood draw was contaminated
     
  • The police reports were misleading
These are just some of the issues a jury considers in a Phoenix criminal DUI trial.

Sometimes it is worth going to trial on the criminal DUI case if the prosecutor does not make you a good offer. It all depends.
