DWI? Not Guilty! 07/13/09

Edward Garrison, the "Texas DWI Lawyer," got another NOT GUILTY verdict on Monday (07/13/09) in County Court at Law Impact Court in RECORD TIME! The DWI trial started with voire dire jury selection at 10:00 am Monday morning, and a verdict of "NOT GUILTY" was rendered and announced by each juror by 12:40 pm...the same day! Niiice.

"Facts" As Alleged in Police Report:

1. Defendant was weaving by failing to maintain a single lane on a public roadway, and he also failed to use his turn signal when changing lanes;
2. Arresting Officer reported that the Defendant failed all Field Sobriety Tests;
   
3. Defendant was arrested for DWI; and
4. Defendant refused to provide a breath specimen.
   

Prior to the trial, the prosecutors initially offered a "plea bargain deal" where Defendant would plea "Guilty" or "No Contest" and his punishment would be "Judgment Satisfied." That means Defendant would have completed his punishment with "the one day he spent in jail when he was originally arrested." And he would have no further fines or punishment other than that; he would simply just walk away.

Edward Garrison conferred with his client and REJECTED that offer. Then, just prior to trial, the prosecutors tried to Dismiss the case. But Edward Garrison conferred with his client and strongly OBJECTED to to the Court against the Dismissal. "We don't want a Dismissal...We want a Trial!"

After the shortest trial Edward Garrison has been a part of, the jury said "NOT GUILTY!" It was a RISK to REJECT the "one day of punishment already satisfied" plea bargain offer, and to OBJECT and prevent the prosecutor from DISMISSING the case. But Edward Garrison and his client were confident that they could win the case. The client did not want an "easy punishment" or even a "dismissal." The client wanted a "Not Guilty." And that's what he got.

Defendant is now entitled to "expunge" and seal his DWI arrest record record. It was a tough case, and another BIG win for Edward Garrison. After the trial, another lawyer told Defendant, "You should know that 99% of the lawyers out there don't have the b@lls to do what Edward Garrison just did...and still win like that."

This was a case where Edward Garrison's client, an average citizen, really was victimized by the State and bureaucratic government system and was forced to spend thousands of dollars to clear his name. The Bexar County District Attorney's Office wasted even more tax dollars in their trivial pursuit. Thankfully, however, Justice prevailed.

If you are ever investigated for a DWI offense, you should always ask for your lawyer to be present before doing or saying anything.

• You have the right to refuse to answer any questions.
  
• You have the right to refuse to perform police sobriety tests.
• You have the right to refuse to provide a breath or blood specimen.
• You should call Texas DWI Lawyer, Edward Garrison.
