INJURIES FROM CRASH CREATE REASONABLE DOUBT!
Mr. P. had a very long day; after waking up at 3:00 a.m. to get to work by 5:00 a.m. , he put in a demanding day at work and then had to stay in town to attend an employee recognition dinner at night. As he was traveling to his home in Indiana at 1:00 a.m. , he fell asleep on the Dan Ryan Expressway and crashed into a barricade. He suffered injuries to his head and knee, and his car was totaled. To top it off, he was charged with a DUI.
At trial, Mr. Wallin challenged the circumstantial evidence that the prosecution used to try to show that Mr. P. had been driving while intoxicated, arguing that the indications of intoxication could equally be indications of personal injuries. Given the lack of clear-cut evidence, the Judge found Mr. P. not guilty.
