County Dui Lawyer
Q.Someone wandered off, returned to your home, drank a pint of brandy to dull the pain of your injuries, and were subsequently arrested by the officers who had abandoned you in your hour of need." After due consideration I realized the admirable accuracy of his hypothesis. A couple of hours later, a Hennepin County judge had to sign off (albeit through clenched teeth) on this version as well. Question: having lived through that experience once, did you ever take the risk of drunk-driving again ? In other words, did it teach you a lesson ?
A.Your question presumes that if he had been stone cold sober the situation would have played out any differently. Bad weather, a driver ran a stop sign, and the poster had no, or an ill fitting sholder belt. With or without the alcohol, this accident probably happens. If anything, his injuries may have been reduced by his state of sobriety (or lack there of). Drunks often fare the best in accidents since they don't make the mistake of stiffening up before impact (albeit, any "stiffer" than they already are). The poster did leave out the condition of the other passenger. And this is often an important detail in these "I got out of a DUI" stories. A former DUI lawyer friend of mine frequently observed that the person who most likely could avoid an actual DUI conviction is where there were no injuries involved, or they were the injured person. Police are less likely to collect the information necessary, and in time, when there are no injuries. In the posters story, the actions of the police may have had more to do with his decision to leave unannounced than any original intent to charge him. It would depend greatly upon the condition of the other driver who was apparently already at some fault. A DUI convict I met explained his primary mistake after the accident was to continually announced to the cop that they were "hammered". The police later related to him that they hadn't particularly noticed and since primary fault had rested with the other driver, that was where their attentions were.
