DUI Defense & Not Guilty Verdict

Scott Cummins secured a full acquittal at jury trial for a young man facing a second DUI charge based on an arrest that Scott’s defense proved was built on assumptions rather than evidence. The officers had jumped to conclusions, and the defense demonstrated that the client had not been illegally impaired or driving less safely at the time of the stop.

The jury agreed. The acquittal spared the client a substantial list of life-altering consequences — jail time, a one-year loss of his driver’s license, over $1,000 in fines, 30 days or 240 hours of community service, DUI school, loss of his license plate, and the publication of his photo in the local newspaper.

For a young man on his second charge, the stakes could not have been higher.
