Anonymous2 views5 answers
there was a 7 hr block of time later, they knocked on my door and I answered. Walked home from friends house, didn't drive. Intended to call Lawyer and turn myself in for the accident the next morning but never got the chance. So I can get a dui while in my own home?
Nobody saw me drink and drive because I hadn't started drinking yet but was when they showed up 7 hrs later. I refused to blow.
The out of state attorney's have no idea what they're talking about. People v. Bulman, People v. Kappas, People v. Malik are a few examples of how the State needs to show at a DUI trial that you were operating your vehicle while under the influence of alcohol AT THE TIME of driving. In your situation, unless you or someone else gave statements that you were under the influence at the time of the accident, they won't be able to prove the DUI.
I would recommend hiring an attorney because best case scenario the DUI drops and you're left with a failure to report an accident, maybe a reckless driving amendment.
Good Luck!
Your refusal to provide a breathalyzer is tantamount to admission
Bad idea
Hire an attorney. Do not do any more bad ideas like trying to do your criminal defense as a do it yourself project. Prosecutors love that for their conviction stastistics

You sound like you have a valid defense. At least theoretically. But you need a lawyer ASAP. You should strongly consider speaking to an experienced criminal defense attorney in your area.
You definitely have some facts in your favor, but the issues here are a little complicated to explain quickly in this forum. You need to ck silt an attorney right away.
