Our client, a Clermont County professional in his mid-30s, was charged with operating a vehicle while under the influence, his second such offense in nearly a decade. It might not have been a high-tier OVI charge, but under Ohio law, repeated offenses lead to more severe penalties.
At the time of his arrest, our client was tested by a breathalyzer, and his Blood Alcohol Content level was found to be high, 0.15. We began our investigation into his arrest. Through discovery, we were able to find some inconsistencies between the arresting officer’s statements and the evidence presented.
It can be difficult to negotiate a plea with the prosecutor, especially if the defendant has had prior run-ins with the law, like our client in this case. However, we were able to find a weakness in this case, and eventually, both the judge and the prosecutor agreed to less severe charges.
We were able to discover the weaknesses in the case by remaining persistent and combing through the case details to find the best argument against the prosecutor’s side of the case.
