Controversial New Strategy in DUI Prosecutions in Arizona is Winning DUI Cases
January 28th 2012 -
Recently, Arizona prosecutors have begun demanding jury trials for DUI cases where the blood test is returned under .08. The legal limit that presumes impairment of a driver in Arizona is .08. A driver used to be considered sober if his blood alcohol concentration was .05 or below. One Arizona DUI attorney commented that “should make anyone who has consumed any amount of alcohol before driving fairly nervous.”
The controversial new strategy involves putting the case before a jury even if the blood alcohol content is below .05. They have discovered that juries can be easily manipulated to return a guilty verdict on that person because they may not understand the various implications of the blood alcohol concentration dynamics. This new method to boost DUI conviction numbers is controversial because it completely circumvents the letter of the law. Arizona law abiding citizens may now be restricted from enjoying one glass of wine with dinner.
