What are the motions that could be filed in my DUI case?<\/h3>\n

In DUI cases, motions are an extremely important part of the criminal process and should not be taken lightly.\u00a0 There are several motions that an attorney can file and argue on your case.\u00a0 Motion to Suppress and Motion to Dismiss.<\/p>\n

Motion to Suppress<\/h3>\n

What is a Motion to Suppress?<\/h4>\n

The most common of these motions is the Motion to Suppress.\u00a0 A successful Motion to Suppress will limit the evidence the state can use at trial against the defendant.\u00a0 There are several grounds to file a Motion to Suppress, including but not limited to: the stop was unconstitutional, no RAS (reasonable articulable suspicion) for the stop, no PC (probable cause) for the arrest, the SFSTs (standardized field sobriety tests) were not conducted in a substantially reliable way, the officer did not read implied consent correctly or should have read Miranda rights to the defendant before getting consent to the state test, the breath or blood test was conducted contrary to legal standards, a search of your vehicle was conducted unconstitutionally, the evidence was tampered, or the evidence was mishandled.\u00a0 After a successful Motion to Suppress, Bray Law could get all of the evidence of the DUI suppressed, meaning it couldn't be used against you in the trial.\u00a0 This could lead to a dismissal of the entire case.<\/p>\n

Even if this doesn't result in a suppression of the entire stop, it could result in the suppression of the state administered test or the standardized field tests.\u00a0 This will mean less evidence for the state to sue against the defendant at trial.\u00a0 This will put you the defendant in a better position for negotiation.\u00a0 A lesser charge (like a reckless driving charge), less jail time, less fine, less of an impact on your driver's license.<\/p>\n

How do you know if a Motion to Suppress should be filed?<\/h4>\n

When Bray Law looks at your case, we will get all the evidence, including the video\/audio of the stop, the police report, the toxicology report, physical evidence, and anything else relevant to the stop.\u00a0 We will thoroughly read and inspect the evidence.\u00a0 Each case is unique and different.\u00a0 That's why Bray Law looks at each and every case and determines the best way to get the case dismissed or reduced.\u00a0 In many of these cases, by looking at the evidence, we determine that the officer did not conduct himself appropriately, the stop itself was illegal, the blood was mishandled, or any number of issues that could have occurred in your case.<\/p>\n

How does a Motion to Suppress work?<\/h4>\n

Once Bridgett Bray determines that a Motion to Suppress should be filed in your case, she will file a written or oral motion with the court.\u00a0 The court will then have a hearing where the state must present any evidence they have concerning the suppressible issue and the prosecutor will have a chance to argue why the motion should be denied.\u00a0 After both sides have made their argument, the judge will decide which side made the best legal argument.\u00a0 If the motion is granted, the state may not present the evidence that the judge deemed inadmissible in trial, whether it's a bench or jury trial.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n

Motion to Dismiss<\/h3>\n

Another motion Bray Law could deem is appropriate in your case is a Motion to Dismiss.\u00a0 This could be based on several legal issues.\u00a0 The most common in a DUI is a demurrer.\u00a0 A demurrer is a pleading for dismissal of the case that even if the facts alleged in the complaint were true, there is no legal basis for the charges.\u00a0 Basically, this motion is based in the fact that the defendant was charged with the wrong criminal charge or code section or there is a deficiency in the charging document (the indictment or accusation).\u00a0 Depending on timing of the motion, this could result in a dismissal, directed verdict, or acquittal.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
