Bench trials are good for things that are overly technical or rely on confusing law that jurors won’t understand
Jury system is horrible. To many morons. 3 Judges for all cases except Capital crimes, then 5. Majority rules

dude got arrested for 3 DUIs
Does seem excessive.. I work with a guy who has 9.. Most were way back when nobody enforced them. He didn't drink for 20+ years and just started drinking again. I'm waiting for it..

This is his 2nd. First was 30 years ago

Was he drinking?
Or was it one of those where you blow zeroes but cop’s ego says you are high and you get arrested anyway?

Is this in Louisiana or Texas?

Located in Texas. Blew .07 at the county jail. Cop was hiding by the bar he was at. Reason for being pulled over?? No front license plate. Cop knew he was at a bar

Odds are better to convince one out of 12 rather than all in on one judge.
Unless you have a good attorney who knows the judge well and can get it adjudicated

Based on what exactly?

This is why you only do one illegal thing at a time. And .07 at the county jail is probably a good bit lower than what it actually was when he got behind the wheel.
If a cop wants to catch drunks driving, going where the drunks are makes good sense.

Not according to the rising BAC defense. Have to hire an expert for that though.

Actually not true. IT’s medically proven that your BAC actually hits its peak a couple hours after you stop drinking

Still a valid traffic stop. Him hiding and knowing he was leaving the bar doesn't make the stop bad

Which means at the time of the stop his BAC was, more than likely, >=.08

30 to 120 minutes. It's a range, not a flat 2 hours. Can your friend prove when his last drink was? Because it's also medically proven that once it hits its peak, it begins to drop over time. The rising BAC theory isn't a get out of jail free card for borderline DUIs

Wise words here.

Thus, it's hard to see a really good reason to go to trial unless you weren't drinking, at all, the day/night you were arrested, and you are pretty damn certain you can establish that
Backwards think.
It's not your job to prove you weren't drinking at trial. It's the states job to prove you were.
Assuming you were smart and either blew zero or didn't blow, and didn't subject yourself to voluntary subjective field tests, and generally kept your mouth shut, you should have no problem at trial assuming the DA even wants to go that far.

You are fricked either way nowadays. After having served on a jury last year that had 4 liberals that wanted to make decisions based on emotions instead of facts I would be terrified if I had to stand trial in front of a jury or judge nowadays.

Why does any of that matter? Cop may have saved a life or two.
