If you have recently been arrested for a DUI in Maricopa County and no one was in the area to witness you driving you may have a very good defense for your case. Typically this occurs when there is a single car accident that no one witnessed, the police arrived and they find someone that they suspect was driving under the influence however, they were not in the car when they arrived.
Defense that can be used if you are suspected of drinking and driving however, no one saw you driving include:
Corpus Delicti is Latin for "body of the crime." It essentially means your words cannot be used to convict you if there is no independent proof you committed the crime.
If you have been charged with a DUI and no one saw you actually driving the vehicle when the accident occurred contact the Law Office of Aaron Black. It is my philosophy and reputation to fight your case every step of the way.
Unlike large firms that want as many cases as possible I represent a limited number of clients at any given time which allows me to give the personalized service that you expect from a DUI attorney.

- How can a prosecutor prove to a jury that you were the driver?
- How is it possible for a prosecutor to prove that you were driving when he has no witnesses?
- How can the prosecutor prove that the drinking didn’t occur until after the accident happened?
