Though among the most common of criminal offenses in Maryland and the United States, driving under the influence of alcohol ("DUI"), or "drunk driving" as it is frequently called, is one of the most intricate and complex to understand and properly defend in court.
DUI's are very frequently committed by non-criminals; that is, otherwise law-abiding and respectable people who have never been in trouble with the law before. Yet, the stakes are high.
There are several factors that can affect or influence decisions in a DUI case. A few are as follows:
(1) The impaired driver had a high blood alcohol concentration (BAC) level;
(2) The impaired driver injured or killed someone else;
(3) The impaired driver caused an accident;
(4) The impaired driver had a child driver;
(5) The impaired driver was under the age of 21 at the time of the DUI offense;
(6) The impaired driver committed DUI while breaking another law, such as speeding;
(7) The impaired driver has a history of DUI convictions (multiple violations).
The more common defenses in DUI cases involve (a) attacking the police officer's observations of what happened prior to the arrest or (b) challenging the integrity of the evidence, such as accuracy of a breathalyzer test. Remember that every case has unique facts.
