Will my case be dismissed if the people that accused me don't appear in court?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Lucio Antonio Montes (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at The Montes Law Firm
If you have set it for trial and they do not show up to testify, it will more than likely be dismissed. You should discuss this with possibility with your defense attorney to determine whether the State can make its case with or without the complaining witness. Good luck.

Can my neighbor accuse me of drunk driving?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney John Wood Bussman (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at The Law Offices of John W. Bussman
To be guilty of DUI, the prosecutor must prove that you were driving a car, you were drunk, and you drove the car WHILE you were drunk. If your neighbor's testimony is strong enough to establish the time that you had been driving and the police can prove that you were drunk at that time, then that could be the basis for a DUI charge and conviction. It sounds like there are some serious issues here.

How can I get a DWI dropped and what are my options?

Cynthia Russell Henley
Answered by attorney Cynthia Russell Henley (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Cynthia Henley
You are asking for a lot by asking this question on your case. Your case is very complicated and seems to me that you are lucky to have the option of taking a course and having the case dismissed. .18 is quite high, and the fact of the accident is very bad for a DWI case. A lawyer would need to review ALL the facts and see your video, get information on the intoxilizer, etc., in order to give you advice on how to proceed. Certainly the medical information about your body producing ALDH2*2 would be interesting but would require an expert. Certainly only 3 drinks consumed 2.5 hours before driving should not have made you over the legal limit, and certainly not .18. As far as your lawyer's representation, if you are not satisfied, you are free to hire another lawyer to substitute in but you will likely have to pay that lawyer. You might be able to hire a lawyer to consult with your lawyer under the understanding that your entire future is at stake and you just want to be certain.
