DWI 2nd / Texas V. H.A.
Harris County No. 2
6/5/18
Client was pulled over for allegedly crossing the lines of traffic multiple times and almost hitting a vehicle. The client was also pulled over after the mandatory midnight Harvey curfew by two of the most seasoned HPD Officers on the DWI task force. Client never stood a chance. Thankfully, the DA was able to find the dash cam of the driving in the middle of trial and that video showed that the Client barely touched the diving lines of traffic and never even left his own lane to avoid missing a parked car. This was a classic case of “when you’re a hammer, everything is a nail.” It was a Saturday night, midnight, in Midtown, with the curfew just in effect at midnight, and the client was pulled over by two of the most decorated HPD DWI Task Force Officers. The Officers were very happy to discuss all of their training, awards, arrests and how high up and powerful they were with HPD and the Harris County Das office. But that backfired on them. The jury was able to recognize that these two officers were so high up that the Das couldn’t tell them they were ever wrong. Thankfully we have jury power for this division of Police and Prosecutor and the jury came back in 15 minutes with a Not Guilty. The client was very polite on video and didn’t’ decline any tests, he just wanted to call his step dad (an ex-HPD officer) to ask him what to do. The DA and the Police over exaggerated the clues and signs of intoxication and the jury was able to see right through it. The jury actually came back and said the client should have never even been pulled over. Thank you to that jury for their just verdict. We waited 9 long months and needed their help in this case to clearly divide the power between the Police and the DAs office.
