Dui Defense Strategies: Challenge the Evidence
9/23/2024
In Virginia, charges of driving under the influence can carry severe consequences. It includes license suspension, fines, and even jail time. Therefore, you must understand your rights and available defense strategies. By employing effective legal tactics, you can mitigate the impact of the charges and potentially secure a more favorable outcome.
Challenge The Evidence
DUI cases often rely on evidence such as breathalyzer results, field sobriety tests, and officer observations. Your attorney can scrutinize this evidence for inconsistencies or procedural errors that could weaken the prosecution’s case.
Breathalyzers may not always provide accurate readings of blood alcohol levels. This is due to the difference between alcohol levels, variations in physiology, body temperature, and instrument error. Consulting with a forensic toxicologist and your DUI lawyer can help identify issues with breath testing.
