I should NEVER need a DUI/DWI Attorney, as I quit drinking years ago, but we seen people blow Zeros and are still arrested so these cops can get the Bounes Checks from MADD. I WILL hire this guy or someone he suggests to Defend Me Against the DA Office or anyone else trying to sue me from a DUI/DWI charge!! Just within the first 35 minutes of this video, The DUI Guy would be worth every penny paid to him for having to shutdown the Prosecution's unethical line of questioning regarding the testimony of this cop. The Prosecutor was doing EVERYTHING he could to elicit testimony that was on allowed by the court/judge
After the guy refused the test, the cop arrested him, AFTER refusing the test, my question is why have him take the test in the first place if he was going to arrest him anyway ? If the guy had somehow aced the test was he going to let him go?, i mean with the strong odor and swaying body ?
Just goes to reinforce why field sobriety tests should ALWAYS be refused by the suspect. Field sobriety tests only serve to strengthen the officer's case, NOT to exonerate the suspect.
I am glad the defendant refused the tests. Coming from a horrific accident like that, I can't imagine passing any tests given his anxious state, brusing/injuries, etc. Like the defendant, I also would want to get out and see my loved ones and also try to calm down and be done with any blood tests ... he already refused the hospital and EMT folks, indicating a strong desire to get out of the ER.
Bamm. This prosecutor sounds as tho he got away with a lot of questionable things in the past due to his aggressive tone. Great observation. I can't believe he was told not to do it and he went right back to the same question he was told not to.
First ❤! Love these re-visits! Edited to add... Is there any kind of proof to show what a 100mph MVC debris field looks like? How was that taught in training?
This is the first video i have watched of you since Liz Amazing video. The hear say rule you are fighting for to me is correct. The DAs are known to bend the rules well past the breaking point. If they want to get it entered they need the EMT to their to tell it. You might be a much better attorney than i first thought.good luck and keep uo the great work!!
As a career firefighter/medic, we were not permitted to ever say in a report "odor of alcohol". We could only indicate we detected an odor that "resembled the odor of an alcohol-type beverage". Why ?, because medics and police are not uniquely qualified to determine an alcoholic beverage based on smell. In fact, I've worked several accidents, where police said the driver was intoxicated, when in fact, they had not had a drop of alcohol. Instead, they were having a diabetic emergency that causes ketones to be expelled by breath. This is mistaken for alcohol. And that's just one example. Im not condoning drunk drivers at all, but I am condemning using "I detected the strong..." by police constantly, when it's only a catch-all for them.
He didnt refuse He simply declined about potential self incrimination. I believe that possibly be a right afforded by the Constitution of the United States. Might be wrong tho.
Totally agree. Not submitting to field sobriety tests is a right and can not be held against a defendant. Refusing an official blood/breath/urine test can be held against someone.
Sir, I would not want to be a police officer witness against your client! You are the Frank Haddad Jr. of DUI defense attorneys. (Anyone old as me from Louisville will likely know what I mean.)
What a sleazy prosecutor.... I might have missed it and I know my TBI makes me jumble names and cases, but the defendant's name sounds familiar so is this a retrial⁉️... If so, why can't he get the EMT on the stand⁉️🧐🤷
Officer, exactly how many open alcohol swabs, their fumes permeating the air in the EMS vehicle, where defendant and his wife were being treated, and were first used on them to swab and cleanse their skin abrasions and left out and still open and perfuming? --[ To fill or permeate an area with fragrance ]--
He was just in the accident, sitting in an ambulance. Why would he want to do a field sobriety test? Then the cop arrest him from there? I would think a smart person would allow him to seek medical treatment.
Cop has no concept of the synonyms for common terms. This is a perfect example why cops need a proper secondary education, at a very minimum. My people are from Knox County and know graduates must know how to analyze¹ and synthesize² information, which includes solid information about synonyms and antonyms, which the cop was unable to do. ¹Demonstrated by "Describe" questions. ²Demonstrated by "Compare and contrast" questions. So, it's ridiculous for the DA to propose physics questions to the cop when of the cop were to explain the word "physics" or "inertia" he would NOT be able to do so.
Why is a county cop working a wreck on the interstate hwy? And this guy only been a cop for a little while how is he giving testimony to speed and cause of a accident. Where is the expert witness to do this ?
How can they proceed void any factual evidence against your client? Opinion is hardly evidence against… No pics, no tests and no video even of the accident scene… How in the hell is that procedure for their investigations of such matters?
How dare you go into THEIR county, disrupt the "good Ole boy" rules, and insist that the actual rules be followed? It's terrifying that the DA felt so comfortable bringing this shitbird case before a jury with zero evidence. You just know that he's gotten away with it over and over.
Please excuse my stupidity but how is it even theoretically possible to find someone guilty beyond reasonable doubt based on just one man’s WORD and WITHOUT ANY EVIDENCE?
And that is why yous should always exercise your right to remain silent and refuse FSTs & PBTs. All of those are simply additional points of testimony or video evidence to be used against you.

The prosecutor is outrageous. Heaven help anyone who does not have a good lawyer going up against someone who tries repeatedly to skirt the rules. And he is attempting to get the judge to skirt the rules also. Sickening. Any represented by a less experienced or less persistent attorney than DUI would be in trouble with this prosecutor and his contemptuous attitude. I love the way Larry stands between the officer and the prosecutor during cross-examination. No hand or face signals available.
" stands between the officer and the prosecutor" That's an excellent observation! I've seen this same thing on others of Larry's videos. Every defense attorney should at least take note and be aware of this tactic.
Damn you are good! This proves why someone needs an attorney. The prosecutor was trying to skirt the rules for sure. You can tell he hadn’t gone up against an attorney that actually tries hard to defend their client.
yep this prosecutor is out of his class when Larry has the defendant for a client.....I know one other atttorney in Louisville that was much like Larry....he is now Judge Brown. Maybe I will see Larry in his courtroom...which I think Brown is still a judge
I have noticed over time that prosecutors lose at lot of cases when the defendant has a good lawyer. And really high profile cases at that. I don't think prosecutors make good trial lawyers because most cases are plea bargained to rates about 90%. Prosecutors just don't have the trial experience a good defense lawyers have. They are used to just railroading people into plea bargains. It was obvious the DUI guy absolutely knows the rules of evidence and examination. The prosecutor seemed to be clueless at times.
I grew up thinking that prosecutors were the good guys looking for justice. In reality it seems like justice has nothing to do with it and they're just looking to get convictions however they can. This prosecutor isn't looking for justice. He's just trying to win however he can.
The number of DUI arrests and convictions are often tied to federal funding. Also a guilty verdict protects the municipality from being sued in a civil rights case. So judges often side with the municipality also.
Losing cases for any reason don't look good on a lawyers resume. But I think they could just dismiss i, for lack of evidence of a crime, and not lose face.
Did that prosecutor go to law school? How annoying it must be to have to someone in the justice system that will so easily break the rules of law like he is doing.
If you visited Rockcastle County you would understand. A very poor county full of political shenanigans. An attorney would be treated like a rock star. There are several fine people in the county but they work big farms and take care of their family and neighbors. You won't see the good people have time to get into trouble or have any political interest.
So in our town in our last election for the District Attorney... We had a couple people who was not even Lawyers running for the job, so how could they even know the law..
The fact that concussion was not defined or part of the officers consideration is baffling. The lack of supporting evidence by the prosecution. The need for photographic evidence is a must, even for the officers.
The fact that the EMT doesn't appear to be one of their planned witnesses is extremely odd. It would be reasonable doubt #1 in my mind if I were a juror on this case.
It must be hard for the defence to determine if they should call him as a witness themselves. What is better? An uneducated cop making guesses, or an EMT with some medical knowledge that never did a real assessment if he was intoxicated? Now, when I write it out, I think Mr Foreman made the right call. But we will see when we have a vertict. Can't wait 😱
I wouldn't say that the fact he is not called as a witness is reasonable doubt in and of itself, but it leaves a lot of unanswered questions in the "lack of evidence" pile. You have to look at what is presented in court, and what facts are not presented in court (as Mr Foreman stated in his opening), but not who are and are not there. That's the reason for Foreman's long objection streak under the cop's testimony. The cop was kinda testifying on behalf of the EMT.
@@AudunWangen that's the point of my speculation about why the EMT isn't a witness - the facts that the EMT could have known about aren't being presented. so what are they?
@@gagenater In the court of public opinion we can speculate about such things, of course, but I don't think the jury should. They should just look at the evidence presented (or not) in court. If I'm going to speculate, I think that the prosecution feared that the EMT could have some conflicting accounts of what happened, or maybe they didn't remember anything about it. He probably didn't do a fair assessment if the accused was intoxicated either way. In that case, it doesn't make sense for them to call him as a witness, because it's basically just another tool the defence can use to discredit the cop's story, and it doesn't do anything to prove guilt. In short: they had an extremely weak case.
@@AudunWangen That's sort of my point. There's 3 people who could assess Danny's condition post accident - the cop, Chyrstal (sp?) and the EMT. The cop made the arrest, so he believes his position. Chyrstal has some motivation to try and protect Danny. The only less interested party is the EMT, and the jury won't hear from them. The fact that they aren't being heard from makes the situation very uncertain - to the point that in my mind it's a reasonably doubt in and of itself.
Prosecution has obviously had a steady diet of incompetent public defenders who offer no real resistance to his lazy and bullying style. He can't stand being challenged
I'm actually quite shocked by how unbelievably smug this prosecutor was. Constantly trying to skirt rules and, when called on his crap, his only retort was "Well can he cite a rule?"
He's obviously gotten used to getting his way from judges. In many a county judges think they're in the same "team" as the DA, if not outright drinking buddies...
I am a psychology student, not a law student, but oh my goodness watching Larry is akin to being in a classroom with an amazing tutor. I just watched Larry come from the podium and stand in front of the police officer, which broke the officer’s line of sight, the officer can’t take comfort in seeing his ally, the prosecutor, and the prosecutor can’t give him non verbal support signs or eye contact. Larry is a genius.
I saw another video were you explain why you always move that specific piece of furniture. For causing intimidation to the witness and for blocking him from getting signals from his attorney. And here not only you moved that thing, but you also stood next to it just to block that back and forth communication. 😂😂😂
Is there a legal requirement to take FSTs in Kentucky? (I don't think there is.) I would never let the police or Prosecutor get away with saying I refused to do something I was not required to do... I would insist the correct term is 'Declined their request." "Refused" implies that I should have, or was required to, but didn't.
Honestly the thing im most amazed by is how this made it to court. Literally no evidence just a very green officer who may not be even be trained for DUI's.
The 2 of you moving that podium was hilarious. Everything was so serious. You were objecting left and right shutting the prosecutor down it was great. Then out of character you and the bailiff lift and move the podium. Maybe I'm just high. That cracked me up.
Exception to the hearsay rule is not telling the jury that the EMT told him the guy smelled like alcohol. You have to testify ONLY to what YOU observed or noticed.
There are exceptions to the hearsay rule but the person offering the evidence must prove the applicability. Prosecutor saying i dont know what he is going to say is a joke.
24:32 Wow, is this prosecutor for real? Has he even been inside a courtroom before? I like how he admits to not knowing what rule he's breaking, but he'll go along. Well, shit, the fact the judge sustained the objection should let him know he's wrong.
This is how country kangaroo courts work if a good ole boy country cop and a good ole boy country prosecutor says you’re guilty you’re guilty boy , we don’t need any damn evidence.
He was the only officer on duty in the County after 2am? So all that is needed is for someone to distract him so a crime can be commited elsewhere. Shocking.
Well, he "heard others talk about it" and they were probably talking about how inconvenient they are and how much it costs LAPD or NYPD for their whole systems. He kept talking about a couple cameras inside the precinct. But come on, people know what they cost. We have ring cameras and wildlife trail cameras and people have recording devices all over their cars nowadays. We know that small dept just does stuff they don't want recorded.
Are you forgetting that we're talking about the Government here? 😉 Millions of dollars for a handful of officers sounds spot on to me. The Government will always over spend on these things!
That DA is a joke, but I sure hope we get to see the conclusion tomorrow? Although I believe this is the case you already told us about? I’d still like to see what else stupid crap this DA try’s pulling. Thanks for sharing your expeert courtroom Lawyering with us.😊
Our taxes should pay for attorneys. I think it's just sick that the regular citizens can't afford to fight for there freedom. Court appointed sucks. Never ends good with court one
It seems to me that the prosecution usually gets away with violating the defendants rights during trials. Larry Forman must be much a better attorney than the average public defender.
Is the prosecutor that inexperienced/incompetent (or needs to go back to school cause its not the 60s anymore)? Or just so used to getting away with skirting/breaking the rules, that he cant help himself in continuing to try to do it?
that prosecutor's trying every single thing he can to get that dude prosecuted by breaking all the rules and procedures just to get him convicted so it just goes to show you how weak his case really was
Our Courts are beyond screwed up!! Any prosecutor that has to work this hard to get around Case Law, has no case!!! Stop protecting bad policing and just dismiss the charges!!
No backup. What if he's shot? No backup. What if there's a mass murder? No backup. No body worn cameras. (Like there's no money in that entire county). Insufficient training. What a terrifying state. I hope this video implements change.
Dudes been on the road for 9 weeks. No way he has the experience to know the defendants speed, or know if he was under the influence versus medical issues after accident. It’s literally just this kids word. It’s wild a kid has this much credibility in court and judge overruled the motion for direct verdict. Commonwealth only had an inexperienced kid as their witness. That’s wild to me.
As a society we need to stop infantilizing those 18 years and older. They are not kids. They are adults. This why is why 30+ year olds refusing to move out and start thier adult life, because they are still refered to as kids. At 38 a male is just starting middle age. Half of thier expected life is over. They live up to what is expected of them. Treat & expect them to be kids, and they will continue to behave as such.
@@williamallen7836 in my eyes, he’s a kid. He looks like he can’t even grow facial hair. I call him a kid, due to his lack of experience. I think you missed the whole point I was trying to make. I was simply stating, the only evidence against this man, is an inexperienced “kid” who just got out of the academy, only been on the road for 9 weeks. He’s very fresh. You’d agree with that, right? The court, jury, everyone is rely on this “kids” “experience”, even when he has very little.
If I were on that jury, I would be put off by the DA not having enough respect for me to stand while he is asking questions. I think he is rude and lazy. It would make me wonder how much work he put into this case or if he just decided it’s easier to just testify and hope opposing counsel was dumb.
Classic strategy from the DUI guy. Get between the testifying officer and the prosecuting DA. So that the officer can not look to his master for help 😂
No evidence, guy wasn't driving or even in the car when the officer, the only witness here, arrives, guy leaves officers presence for hours, they meet back up at hospital because guy chose to leave, etc. No evidence to put him behind the wheel let alone intoxicated over the limit beyond a reasonable doubt, plus driving while intoxicated beyond a reasonable doubt... Although I still wonder which way the jury decided because juries always convict, it's like beyond reasonable doubt to jury means suspected of maybe being guilty.
Well the judge would of let the da do whatever he wants . If the defense didn't say anything I feel bad for anyone that cant pay for defence lawyer to care.
After a car accident where people were injured, the Adrenaline would negate all the tests An adrenaline rush can make you feel like your heart is racing. It can cause nervousness, anxiety, tingling, and shakiness, therefore balancing would be neigh on impossible. This prosecutor has been getting away with his short cuts that he believes it is his absolute right to get a conviction by any means.
Whenever I hear a cop say “overwhelming odor” I’m about 90% sure they’re lying
It’s pure reading from a worn out script
Their advance training grants them a preternatural sense of smell.

In that case, it doesn't make sense for them to call him as a witness, because it's basically just another tool the defence can use to discredit the cop's story, and it doesn't do anything to prove guilt.
In short: they had an extremely weak case.
@@AudunWangen That's sort of my point. There's 3 people who could assess Danny's condition post accident - the cop, Chyrstal (sp?) and the EMT. The cop made the arrest, so he believes his position. Chyrstal has some motivation to try and protect Danny. The only less interested party is the EMT, and the jury won't hear from them. The fact that they aren't being heard from makes the situation very uncertain - to the point that in my mind it's a reasonably doubt in and of itself.
Prosecution has obviously had a steady diet of incompetent public defenders who offer no real resistance to his lazy and bullying style. He can't stand being challenged
You win the Best Comment of the Video Award!
I'm actually quite shocked by how unbelievably smug this prosecutor was. Constantly trying to skirt rules and, when called on his crap, his only retort was "Well can he cite a rule?"
He's obviously gotten used to getting his way from judges. In many a county judges think they're in the same "team" as the DA, if not outright drinking buddies...
@@wape1golfing buddies. Not a lot of them drink in the South😊
@@wape1Absolutely fact, especially in rural parts of Georgia.
@@Boggyboytadthat’s insane you think that. Even in the south average person has like 4+ drinks a week.
Just goes to show you. How corrupt small towns can be.
Can???
You mean they are very corrupt
Oh holy ....what?? Everyone knows to take pictures of an accident...im sure he has a cellphone he could have used to take pictures ...
I am a psychology student, not a law student, but oh my goodness watching Larry is akin to being in a classroom with an amazing tutor. I just watched Larry come from the podium and stand in front of the police officer, which broke the officer’s line of sight, the officer can’t take comfort in seeing his ally, the prosecutor, and the prosecutor can’t give him non verbal support signs or eye contact. Larry is a genius.
I couldn't make it past the one minute ‼️ annoying!
@@plyer_2502 Who annoyed you?
I saw another video were you explain why you always move that specific piece of furniture. For causing intimidation to the witness and for blocking him from getting signals from his attorney.
And here not only you moved that thing, but you also stood next to it just to block that back and forth communication. 😂😂😂
Body cams cost millions because of the lawsuits.
Is there a legal requirement to take FSTs in Kentucky? (I don't think there is.)
I would never let the police or Prosecutor get away with saying I refused to do something I was not required to do... I would insist the correct term is 'Declined their request."
"Refused" implies that I should have, or was required to, but didn't.
Honestly the thing im most amazed by is how this made it to court. Literally no evidence just a very green officer who may not be even be trained for DUI's.
I am so impressed with the DUI guy as a lawyer he is smart and knows the law!
I think the state needs to start paying for people who are found not guilty so they have some kind of reason to not go after innocent people.
Indeed
And it needs to come out of the Police retirement fund and or the Mayors and Sherriffs own check.
This will keep them honest
Does not mater wether your a rookie or a long time good old boy, they all have been treated and taught to lie to the people of America.
This DA set Kentucky back 50 years in eyes of the world. Like we are stupid as portrayed in the south
The 2 of you moving that podium was hilarious. Everything was so serious. You were objecting left and right shutting the prosecutor down it was great. Then out of character you and the bailiff lift and move the podium. Maybe I'm just high. That cracked me up.
It's pretty funny.
The jury needs to disregard should automatically mean miss-trial.
Exception to the hearsay rule is not telling the jury that the EMT told him the guy smelled like alcohol. You have to testify ONLY to what YOU observed or noticed.
There are exceptions to the hearsay rule but the person offering the evidence must prove the applicability. Prosecutor saying i dont know what he is going to say is a joke.
The fact that any LEO agency doesn't have every camera possible is unacceptable.
24:32 Wow, is this prosecutor for real? Has he even been inside a courtroom before? I like how he admits to not knowing what rule he's breaking, but he'll go along. Well, shit, the fact the judge sustained the objection should let him know he's wrong.
He's used to people that can't afford a lawyer.
This is how country kangaroo courts work if a good ole boy country cop and a good ole boy country prosecutor says you’re guilty you’re guilty boy , we don’t need any damn evidence.
"Well don't trust your soul to no backwards southern lawyer"! "That's the night that the lights went out in Georgia "
This prosecutor is a real jerk
He was the only officer on duty in the County after 2am? So all that is needed is for someone to distract him so a crime can be commited elsewhere. Shocking.
Similar to small counties all over the country.
This is one of the reasons fly-overs can be so passionate about maintaining their Right to Arms.
Millions for cameras and storage for a department that has one overnight officer on duty at a time? Talking out your ass officer.
Well, he "heard others talk about it" and they were probably talking about how inconvenient they are and how much it costs LAPD or NYPD for their whole systems. He kept talking about a couple cameras inside the precinct. But come on, people know what they cost. We have ring cameras and wildlife trail cameras and people have recording devices all over their cars nowadays. We know that small dept just does stuff they don't want recorded.
Are you forgetting that we're talking about the Government here? 😉 Millions of dollars for a handful of officers sounds spot on to me. The Government will always over spend on these things!
That DA is a joke, but I sure hope we get to see the conclusion tomorrow? Although I believe this is the case you already told us about? I’d still like to see what else stupid crap this DA try’s pulling. Thanks for sharing your expeert courtroom Lawyering with us.😊
That young officer obviously perjured himself on the witness stand.
Our taxes should pay for attorneys. I think it's just sick that the regular citizens can't afford to fight for there freedom. Court appointed sucks. Never ends good with court one
It seems to me that the prosecution usually gets away with violating the defendants rights during trials. Larry Forman must be much a better attorney than the average public defender.
Is the prosecutor that inexperienced/incompetent (or needs to go back to school cause its not the 60s anymore)? Or just so used to getting away with skirting/breaking the rules, that he cant help himself in continuing to try to do it?
that prosecutor's trying every single thing he can to get that dude prosecuted by breaking all the rules and procedures just to get him convicted so it just goes to show you how weak his case really was
Our Courts are beyond screwed up!! Any prosecutor that has to work this hard to get around Case Law, has no case!!! Stop protecting bad policing and just dismiss the charges!!
Dough Boy prosecutor is over in weight and under in qualifications. Forman gave him the best workout mentally and physically.
Having only 1 officer on duty for several hours every single morning in a county of almost 20,000 blows my mind 🤯
No backup. What if he's shot?
No backup. What if there's a mass murder?
No backup. No body worn cameras. (Like there's no money in that entire county). Insufficient training. What a terrifying state. I hope this video implements change.
@@sing2me axon international has offered a free BWC and a free year of cloud storage to every officer in the country.....and they can't afford free?
Understaffing is horrible post "defund" movement.
@@williamallen7836 reforming is imperative. Defunding is idiocy.
@@TruthHealsUs totally agree with you. Defunding almost ensures that any attempts at reform will fail.
Dudes been on the road for 9 weeks. No way he has the experience to know the defendants speed, or know if he was under the influence versus medical issues after accident. It’s literally just this kids word. It’s wild a kid has this much credibility in court and judge overruled the motion for direct verdict. Commonwealth only had an inexperienced kid as their witness. That’s wild to me.
As a society we need to stop infantilizing those 18 years and older. They are not kids. They are adults. This why is why 30+ year olds refusing to move out and start thier adult life, because they are still refered to as kids. At 38 a male is just starting middle age. Half of thier expected life is over. They live up to what is expected of them. Treat & expect them to be kids, and they will continue to behave as such.
@@williamallen7836funny ppl want call 18+ kids, but they can go fight an die in war for there country . There adult enough for that.
@@williamallen7836 in my eyes, he’s a kid. He looks like he can’t even grow facial hair. I call him a kid, due to his lack of experience. I think you missed the whole point I was trying to make. I was simply stating, the only evidence against this man, is an inexperienced “kid” who just got out of the academy, only been on the road for 9 weeks. He’s very fresh. You’d agree with that, right? The court, jury, everyone is rely on this “kids” “experience”, even when he has very little.
Snakes drag their bellies along the ground just like this DA and cop. The DA just keeps slithering along.
Great job Larry 😅
He was so cocky that he relied on the word of a lying cop.
Boss Hog and Cooter. That is who they remind me of.
why does the judge let the prosecutor staying on his phone while court is on
If I were on that jury, I would be put off by the DA not having enough respect for me to stand while he is asking questions. I think he is rude and lazy. It would make me wonder how much work he put into this case or if he just decided it’s easier to just testify and hope opposing counsel was dumb.
Classic strategy from the DUI guy. Get between the testifying officer and the prosecuting DA. So that the officer can not look to his master for help 😂
Once again Larry you're proving that if I should ever be accused of committing a crime, you are going to be my top choice for lawyer.
How did this case ever get to a jury?
No evidence, guy wasn't driving or even in the car when the officer, the only witness here, arrives, guy leaves officers presence for hours, they meet back up at hospital because guy chose to leave, etc. No evidence to put him behind the wheel let alone intoxicated over the limit beyond a reasonable doubt, plus driving while intoxicated beyond a reasonable doubt...
Although I still wonder which way the jury decided because juries always convict, it's like beyond reasonable doubt to jury means suspected of maybe being guilty.
I guess any idiot can become a DA in the right state.
The Murdaughs proved that already as well didnt they?!
Well the judge would of let the da do whatever he wants . If the defense didn't say anything
I feel bad for anyone that cant pay for defence lawyer to care.
Most anyone can beat this prosecutor.
He got lazy, complacent,and cocky.
None of those three things help anyone be better,no matter the profession.
lol the prosecutor wishes he didn’t have DUI guy opposing him. Maybe the first time he has been held to account.
Oooooh!!! The prosecutor is even scummier in this one! Call the EMT if you want him to testify, counselor!
This prosecutor... he's a piece of work! Isn't he the same one that had three cases dismissed because he dragged the trial on for months?
After a car accident where people were injured, the Adrenaline would negate all the tests An adrenaline rush can make you feel like your heart is racing. It can cause nervousness, anxiety, tingling, and shakiness, therefore balancing would be neigh on impossible. This prosecutor has been getting away with his short cuts that he believes it is his absolute right to get a conviction by any means.
Dirty DA
26:42 gotta love how you have to talk to them like children to get the point across
