TRUCK DRIVER VINDICATED AFTER TRIAL!

Marek S., a truck driver, had been working almost non-stop for 24 hours before he accompanied his family to a party. While at the party he had one beer. His 18 year old daughter was going to drive the family home, but she was afraid to pull the family SUV out of a tight city parking space. So she asked Mr. S. to pull the vehicle out for her. While he was doing this, his 10 year old stepson raced out into the street and began banging on the passenger door. A police officer stopped to investigate, and asked Mr. S. to perform field sobriety tests. The officer claimed that Mr. S. failed the sobriety tests, and arrested him for DUI.

At trial, Attorney Harold L. Wallin emphasized that although Mr. S. had been very tired, he was still able to pull the huge SUV out of a tight parking space, without touching any of the cars — and then parked again without incident in a new spot near his family. Furthermore, although the officer claimed that Mr. S. failed the field sobriety tests, the evidence showed that Mr. S. gladly performed them and did pretty well considering his age, physical condition, and lack of sleep.

After hearing all the evidence, the Judge dismissed all the charges against Mr. S.
