Carl, In case you're wondering why I'm taking so much time on this is because I am unemployed due to lay off so I thought I would do as much leg work for my friend as I can. Do you know what the statute of limitation is, if any, on getting one or both of the prior convictions overturned...

Hi Carl, I have looked at further sites (about ten different ones) and found that in some jurisdictions, such as California, the felony offense also requires "independent" proof of negligent driving or violation of a traffic law. From what I understand, he was pulling out and had plenty of room...

May I ask how minor is minor?

That is exactly what I advised him to do. You know, I was just reading numerous sites that talk about botched BAC tests in crime labs. These sites were actual court docs. The County citing him was actually mentioned. The guy beat the case by asking for a DNA test. I just cannot understand that...

It is actually a call in number that he was given at the time of his arrest with a special six digit identifier that showed it was him. I honestly don't believe he would lie. He hates the taste of alcohol. I've been friends with him for years and he never drinks. Something does not make sense...

Hi Carl, I am totally shocked. He called into the crime lab to find out the results and they are saying .15% blood alcohol and nothing at all about drugs. It makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. The test must be screwed up or switched. Why no mention of drugs of there were the pills in the car...

Thanks again. The paperwork actually says seven working days. It has been just about that so I guess we are a couple of days shy.

Thanks Carl, The tests coming back negative is a concern. Like I said earlier, he does take Valium to sleep and I have been told that can come back and give him the DUI. He did say he has taken more than normal because of anxiety and sleep issues. He has not yet been able to get through to the...

It looks like a public defender is all he can afford after the bail he had to post. The one public defender he spoke to sounded good and he wants to try to win. You hear that public defenders aren't worth their weight but I've also heard they do actually want to win or get a good plea to...

Thanks Carl, Yes, he was pulling into traffic from a parking lot. The collision was so minor that it is hard to believe the other person was hurt. I personally believe the other guy is milking this...

Thanks Carl, I believe your third quote can't be proven 3.While driving under the influence, the defendant also (committed an illegal act/ [or] neglected to perform a legal duty); Apparently there was no illegal act performed. he was pulling into traffic slowly and the other driver clipped his...

Thanks Carl for your response. I appreciate the time you took. I did look further into the injury part of the charge and found this: "Notice that merely being DUI and having an accident in which someone is injured does not necessarily make you guilty of this offense. For example, you may be...

Have a friend that just had a felony DUI where the officers claim the other party was injured. I have spoken with witnesses that stated it is very hard to believe the other party was injured at all and judging but the damage to the cars is was highly unlikely. From what I understand, the...

I didn't sign any waiver. What good reason could he have for calling the school? What if I have a history of substance abuse and Dr. shopping for prescription meds? Don't get me wrong, that still isn't why he made the call. Neither he or the teacher were aware of my problem. If it did escalate...

They are against them to a degree. He just happened to do it because he knew the guy and wanted to check out my story. May I ask what difference it makes whether they are or aren't against them? Are there not HIPPA laws, or whatever they are called, that protect Dr./patient confidentiality? From...

I will try to make this as quick as possible. I was working for the school I was attending the last summer. I had tears in both elbows and in pain. I went to a Dr. that happened to know the teacher I was working for. He called the teacher to verify my story and told him what he prescribed me, a...

CBG, just so you know, he was not blind sided and it was an email, not a call. I agree, he could have been blind sided that is why I felt terrible and emailed immediately from Europe when I arrived. I do know a friend that a company tried to fire and there was medication involved that is where...

I totally understand and agree with what you are saying. I didn't think the termination was wrong but so many people do so I thought I'd check. What happened was I had a car accident with a co. car. I have no recollection of it because I was taking an anti anxiety medication my Dr. put me on a...
