Trial Setting Dismissal

Summary: The client is a bartender that just got off work and was going en route to check on her boyfriend that was ironically pulled over for DWI. When she drove onto the scene, the police officer alleged that my client disregarded a police barricade as the DWI investigation and accident were taking place and that she almost hit a deputy on duty in the process. As soon as her vehicle was stopped by the deputy, they immediately handcuffed her, asked her zero questions, and did not conduct any DWI investigation until well over an hour after she was put in handcuffs and transported back to the police station. Chris Denuna argued with the prosecutor that this was an unlawful prolonged detention and a violation of the client’s 4th Amendment Constitutional rights. Two days before trial, the chief prosecutor reviewed the issues and agreed. The prosecutor did the reasonable decision and ultimately DISMISSED the case two days before our trial setting. The client is now going to get this record expunged from her record so she can be granted the legal privilege to deny this arrest ever even occurred so it will not affect her future!
