People v. SF

Our Client was charged with Felony Aggravated Battery of a Police Officer and DUI.  Our Client was facing up to 7 years in prison.  It was alleged that our Client was involved in a traffic accident.  When Officers arrived on the scene they claim our Client had red, bloodshot glassy eyes, slurred speech and smelled of alcohol.  Our Client allegedly failed the Field Sobriety Tests on scene and was arrested for DUI.  While being transported to the station, our Client escaped from the handcuffs.  When Officers attempted to re-cuff our Client, they claim she turned on her side and kicked and officer in the chest and jaw multiple times.  At the station, our Client participated in a breath test showing a BAC of .199 (more than double the limit).  We were able to convince the prosecution to offer our Client supervision on the DUI, avoiding a conviction.  We also convinced the prosecution to reduce the Felony Aggravated Battery to a misdemeanor and offer probation on that charge as well.  Another Felony Conviction avoided!!!
