Felony DWI Reduced to Misdemeanor
I just finished representing a client with a felony DWI, that it, it was his third arrest for DWI with two prior convictions. He gave a blood sample but it indicated no alcohol having been consumed. There was an issue regarding the use of PCP. Even if the prosecutor could screen his blood for PCP, it would have been very difficult to prove a level of intoxication due to the level of the drug found in his blood. So, the case was reduced to a misdemeanor DWI and my client was sentenced to the backtime he had already served in jail. He was happy to go home and not have a felony DWI on his record, not to mention avoiding the possibility of serving pen time.
