Trial Victory: Not Guilty Verdict for DUI Charge

After being pulled over for driving erratically, our client failed all field sobriety tests and was arrested for DUI. While the State offered a plea deal for the minimum sentence available for DUI, Gainesville criminal defense attorney Andy Ingram opted to fight the allegations of the State and took the matter to trial. At trial, the State's main witness was a Drug Recognition Expert, who is recognized by the Court as an expert in DUI investigations. Because DREs testify regularly at trial, they make for very polished witnesses and juries often find their testimony particularly credible. After an impressive display by attorney Ingram in the courtroom, the jury returned a verdict of "not guilty" despite the DRE's damaging testimony.
