Congratulations to Jason Mitchell on a DUII Jury Trial Win!

Mr. Mitchell’s client was accused of driving under the influence of marijuana.  The police officer who pulled over his client happened to be a drug recognition evaluation instructor.  Mr. Mitchell proved that the officer saw the pot in the car and assumed facts that didn’t exist.  It turned out that Mr. Michell’s client was a daily user of marijuana; but, he was driving home to have some – he hadn’t had any yet that day.  Mr. Mitchell’s trial strategy was to focus on the results of the field sobriety tests, the drug recognition evaluation, and to show that the results did not support a conclusion that his client was under the influence of marijuana at that time.  Mr. Mitchell had the pleasure of repeating to the jury “he wasn’t lit yet.”  The jury agreed and found his client Not Guilty!
