Anonymous2 views4 answers
My husband and I were at lunch and had a drink we left at 2:30 to go and pick up our children from school. Then after picking up our girls we went to my grandmothers house and then went home. My husband proceed to drink and we had left to my mother in laws home to visit I was driving of course. We then proceed to go home about 5:10 got home and no problem. I then had an officer knock on my door and stated that the vehicle that was parked in my house was involved in an accident and the party that was grazed reported our license plate. this was about 5:45 when the officer showed up then the officer asked my husband to step out of the house becuase he was the owner of the vehicle. They then questioned him and of course because he was under the influence they charged him with dui.
You should hire an experienced, local dui attorney. Obviously this case should be a trial because your husband is accused of something he could not have done according to your notes.
First of all your husband can be convicted of DUI if the jury believes the police officers' theory that he drove drunk and hit a vehicle. The jury might decide not to believe your testimony since you are his wife and you do not want anything bad to happen to him. Perhaps you need an expert to analyse the dent to the other vehicle and see if the paint does not match either of your vehicles. Also maybe somebody saw you leaving your mother in laws, especially a witness who is not biased. Do everything you can to win the DUI trial although DUI should not itself result in deportation it can have immigration consequences.
