Case

A trial by jury was demanded upon learning that the State Attorney was

prosecutor any additional time in which to prepare and produce necessary
witnesses. After declining any further offers by the State in exchange for
a plea, the prosecutor dismissed the case entirely rather than proceeding
forward.
Case No.: 06-004815TCA04 –Charge Broken

Case
No.: 05-016941CF10A – Dismissed State’s
Evidence Suppressed
During
Deposition of the Law Enforcement Officer who initially stopped our client’s
vehicle, it was learned that the basis for the stop was a burned out tail lamp.
Under Florida Law a vehicle must be equipped with at least two (2) operable
tail lamps. As the vehicle driven in this matter was equipped with three (3)
tail lamps, it was compliance with Florida traffic statues. A Motion to Suppress
was filed and heard whereby William Moore argued that since the vehicle in
question was in compliance, the Law Enforcement Officer had violated the Defendant’s
Constitutional Rights in pulling him over without a valid reason. The Honorable
Judge Lebow after reviewing all evidence presented by the State, Ordered that
the Officer’s stop of the vehicle was without probable cause and in violation
of the Defendant’s Constitutional Rights. Consequently, all evidence
was ordered suppressed leaving the State with no evidence to proceed forward.
The State subsequently filed a notice of appeal, which was later withdrawn.
The State voluntarily dismissed all charges against the defendant.

client’s favor.

The Prosecuting
Attorney failed to break down client’s case or convey a reasonable offer.

stop was suppressed. Having no evidence whereby the State could in good faith
seek a conviction the prosecuting attorney voluntarily dismissed the case.

RECENT DUI CASES
Case
No. 04025247mm10a – DUI Broken Down to Reckless
Driving
Client
was pulled over after being observed swerving across lanes and driving with
his high-beams on. Upon making contact, officers detected an odor of alcohol
on the client’s breath and described him as having bloodshot eyes, a
flushed face and slurred speech. The patrol car video depicted the client swaying
from side to side and falling on to the ground in attempting roadside sobriety
exercises.
Upon an
investigation of the case, William Moore learned that one of the officers participating
in the DUI investigation had previously been untruthful in his reporting of
an incident involving another officer. Mr. Moore additionally, alleged in a
motion to suppress that the stopping officer’s reason for “pulling
over” his client’s car was illegal.
Before
the conclusion of the motion, the state prosecutor agreed to break the case
down from DUI to Reckless Driving.
Case
No. 04019346mm10a -
Dismissed and Notice of Appeal Withdrawn by State Attorney’s Office
Judge found
that police officers were not credible and granted a motion to suppress all
evidence.
Case
No. 006504mm10a - Dismissed
Despite
the firm’s client having crashed into a guard rail on interstate I595
in front of an off duty police officer at 4:00 a.m. William Moore filed an
appropriate Motion to Suppress Any and all evidence alleging that the eye witness
testimony afforded by Law Enforcement was not creditable. After presenting
photographic evidence of damage to the vehicle which conflicted with that of
the officer’s testimony the Court suppressed all evidence rendering the
State unable to proceed. As a result the State voluntarily dismissed the charges.
Case
No.05002246mm10a - Reduced
Upon learning
that the Intoxilyzer 5000 used to test client’s blood alcohol was taken
out of service shortly after being used on the night of his arrest, in addition
to a perceived lack of evidence on the State’s part, a trial by jury
was demanded when the prosecuting attorney refused to make an offer that was
acceptable. Just prior to the potential jury being brought in for selection,
the State Attorney voluntarily agreed to break the charge down from DUI to
reckless driving.
Case
No. 0406666mm10a – Reduced
DUI Check
Point Case. Upon the failure of the State to break down the charges filed against
the firm’s client, the offer of the lowest permissible sentence (for
the offence of DUI) was rejected and a trial by Jury was demanded. Faced with
having to present their case in chief to a Jury, the assigned prosecutor broke
down the charge from DUI to reckless driving.
Case
No. tt04000397lw397 – Reduced
Client
was stopped by officers after they observed him run a red light in response
to a car behind him aggressively motioning for him to advance at a quicker
speed. Upon making contact with the individual officers detected an odor of
alcohol on the client’s breath and described him as having bloodshot
eyes, a flushed face and slurred speech
An appropriate motion to suppress was filed seeking to exclude any observations
of impairment alleged by officers in addition to all statements made. Being
unable to defend the motion on the date of the schedule hearing and denied
additional time to prepare by the presiding judge, the case was voluntarily
broken down from the charge of DUI to reckless driving.
Case
No. 04-011658mm10a – Reduced
Client
was found by officers asleep in his vehicle with a bottle of liquor by his
side in a mall parking lot. Upon officers making contact with him, the client
claimed that he was a law enforcement officer and became argumentative with
police.
Upon investigating the case, it was determined that a motion to suppress the
stop, detention and arrest of the firm’s client was appropriate and requested
that any observations or statements be excluded from State’s evidence.
The prosecuting attorney believing that he would be unsuccessful in eventually
obtaining a conviction in the matter, agreed to break down the charge from
DUI to reckless driving.
Case
No. 04-021260mm10a -
Reduced
After a
thorough case review it was determined that the stop of Defendant’s vehicle
was without probable cause and an appropriate motion to Suppress was filed
seeking the exclusion of any and all evidence obtained from the illegal police
activity. When faced with defending said Motion to Suppress, the assigned State
Attorney office broke the charge down from DUI to reckless driving.
Case
No.04006600mm10a - Reduced
Client
was unable to accept the State’s offer of 90 days in Jail when faced
with his fourth DUI charge. In an effort to reduce the State Attorney’s
overwhelming amount of evidence, an appropriate Motion to Suppress (the stop
of the vehicle, the roadside sobriety exercises as well as the officer’s
observations following the stop,) was filed. Being caught off guard and unable
to defend this motion the State Attorney offered to break the charge down from
DUI to reckless driving without any jail time.
Case No.: 04-022533MM10A – DUI
Broken Down to Reckless Driving
Our
client was discovered asleep behind the wheel of his automobile by law enforcement
officers. Upon making contact officers observed bloodshot eyes, a flushed
face and slurred speech. Upon being arrested the Intoxilzer 5000 was administered
where our client blew above a .08 (legal limit).
After almost two (2) years the assigned Prosecutor agreed to break the charge of DUI down to Reckless Driving upon being unable to produce the breath technician who administered the breath test at an adjudicatory hearing.
