The great results keep on coming. This case was an OWI with a high test result (over .20). The case had an interesting fact pattern. The client was stopped in downtown Madison at approximately 11:00 p.m. by an officer because the officer believed that she smelled the odor of marijuana coming from the client's vehicle. The officer stated she followed the vehicle for blocks and the odor did not dissipate while she was following the client. Ultimately, she pulled the client over and he was arrested for Operating While Intoxicated.
Attorney Chirafisi filed a motion challenging the stop of the vehicle. The court indicated that the initial impressions was the officer did have a reason to stop the client's car. After the cross examination of the officer, the court indicated the officer's report did not match the video of the incident and the court suppressed all the evidence related to the case. The DA then moved to dismiss the case.
Can't do better than that. Great outcome for a really good client.
