Our client was charged with Operating Under the Influence of Alcohol – 2nd Offense and Leaving the Scene of a Personal Injury Accident. The charges stemmed from a motor vehicle accident in which our client struck a parked motor vehicle in which several passengers were situated. The Leaving the Scene Personal Injury charge was dismissed prior to trial and the OUI 2nd charge was tried in the East Brookfield District Court. Through effective cross-examination of the arresting police officer and the well prepared testimony of the client and his father, we were able to create reasonable doubt as to the cause of the motor vehicle accident and our client’s sobriety. The client was found Not Guilty after trial. At a subsequent hearing his license was reinstated and the client was able to preserve his job.
