CLIENT FOUND NOT GUILTY AFTER OFFICERS’ TESTIMONY IS SUCCESSFULLY IMPEACHED

Allen H. believed that he had been wrongly charged with a DUI after he had been involved in a motor vehicle accident on Chicago ‘s north side.

At trial, attorney Harold L. Wallin was able to successfully impeach the testimony of both the Chicago sergeant and the arresting traffic officer who changed their versions of events from their previous testimony during the summary suspension hearing. Further, attorney Wallin was able to challenge the sergeant’s testimony that Mr. H. had plowed into a snow bank, by producing a certified weather record showing that it had not snowed during the entire month of the arrest!

After hearing the evidence, the Court found that the prosecution had not proven beyond a reasonable doubt that Mr. H. had been intoxicated and found him not guilty of DUI.
