Yeah me too. She seemed really cool the whole time, but when it comes time for her to take the reins and even gets a motion for a directed verdict, she overruled it and let's it go to the jury. A jury can do anything. They're unpredictable.
County money thru fines and bad faith plea deals. Many people have zero contact or understanding how our justice system works. I just bailed my stepson out for an FTA. The lack of information on procedure was overwhelming and confusing. That was my first contact with courts & jail system... outside my divorce. Google provided very little information for my state. SMDH
I think most people don't bother going this far with their cases. They just take a plea deal because they don't have the time or money. This trial has been years in the making. The Prosecution and Police generally won't back down, because then it would amount to them admitting they did a bad job overall.
It's Kentucky..... it's just degrees of awful depending on the county. I will say the State Police in Western Kentucky have always been reasonable and professional in Western Kentucky but the further east you go the worse it gets.
@jameskirk3 It's all about making money for the county via the courts... IMO They make a plea deal sound tempting and sane people know juries can be unpredictable. Innocent can be scared and intimidated thus making bad plea deals every single day.
I was born with nystagmus. Plus my eyes go in different directions. It's not only disconcerting for others... it's disorienting and freaks *me* out when I look in the mirror.
This case is a clear reminder of why you should NEVER TALK TO THE POLICE. If he'd said nothing to the officer, there wouldn't have been the admission in the officer's mind to the 6 drinks. Similar thing with telling the officer he couldn't do the sobriety test. Speaking to the officer gained him nothing. The officer arrived in a bad mood, with a mindset of treating the defendant as guilty and looking for everything that supported that, whilst ignoring or suppressing everything that may have demonstrated innocence. And then the breath test woman was like something from a Kafka novel.
Exactly she stated she smelt a strong odour of alcohol so where did the alcohol come from could not have been the defendant as his hands were cuffed, was the nurse drunk on duty or was it miss Payne or was it the arresting officer?
I, too, suffer from autoimmune disease. (Lupus/SLE & Lupus-related RA) THANK YOU, so much, for standing up for this man. Most humans, especially cops, wouldn’t last a day with the pain he feels on his best days. God bless you!
He is still a cop because the cops like you didn't arrest him for his actions. It's easy for you to say it's inexcusable while you do nothing real about it.
He's gotta have a much different job, like special operations for drugs maybe. I hate to think he's an SRO with that attitude, but I suppose that's possible. He seems like he didn't care at all if he collected any evidence or if he got a conviction. He didn't even give the standard "smell of alcohol/marijuana, flushed red face, slurred speech." That every single DUI charge in history comes with, sober or not. One thing he should've done and didn't, was get the defendent medical attention. The guy got knocked out and broke his teeth FFS. He obviously had a head injury.
@jameskirk3 I agree but had a hard time understanding why he hasn't had a recertification in DUI since 2011. Is he just riding by for retirement? At the very least, seeing a bloody face, he should have given medical consideration and not just jump to impairment. A concussion would cause the balance and slurred speech. We are all humans, but it's my hope this officer will be mandated to recert.
Unfortunately a lot of smaller departments that can’t get people to work for them love to hire off of the Brady list because those guys have no options
Many cops associate the smell of tobacco with marijuana or alcohol because they go together like milk and cookies. Anyone drinking or using is likely to be smoking or dipping too, so they may make that connection and it may even be subconscious.
I'm old now, but in high school I remember the principal approached me once and asked me why my breath smelled like alcohol, I told him the truth it was from the night before, so yes you can still smell like alcohol being cold sober, even after brushing your teeth, though tooth paste makes it smell worse in my opinion, he said I should stay away from the teathers until it was gone...
I’ve got neuropathy in my feet really bad. I’m sure he experiences similar to what I do in that my feet are numb and aching 24/7 and when you cant feel your feet it’s difficult to balance. If I close my eyes, I lose my balance because my feet cant feel the pressure changes that you naturally account for with your feet…if you lean forward slightly, you press down with your toes without thinking about it. But when you cant feel your feet, your body doesn’t sense that you’re leaning so you don’t subconsciously press down with the opposite side to correct your balance so you go until you consciously realize it and have to correct then but by then you look like you’re stumbling drunk. I probably look like I’m drunk all the time. I rarely drink anymore but I met some friends for some drinks a while back and I could barely walk after a couple drinks. Wasn’t anywhere near drunk yet but I guarantee that Officer would have arrested me at first glance. Haaa!
A very valid and important point is brought up in this trial. If they are bleeding into their mouth, how will it affect a breathalyzer having a concentration of blood in their mouth?
FST are up to cops whether pass or fail. Cases are now coming out of Tennessee where cops have said they do not trust breathalyzers. Going off the FST. Taking months to get results back because if pass for Alcohol they then have to test for other substances. Slme people have had to wait up to 8 months. One woman had felony added to her charges. 4 months later she gets cleared
You do not have to blow that is optional because you could be diabetic hyperglycemic in which both you produce by LASIK acid which produces ethanol alcohol in the bloodstream which will show a positive in a breath test so it will show a false positive
That prosecutor got owned badly. Would you say your foot is worse than 2 years ago. No, ive had this for 25 years. Dont ask questions you dont know the answer to. Duh.
So, in Kentucky, is refusal to perform a field sobriety test admissible as evidence of driving under the influence? Or is it only admissible as violation of implied consent? In North Carolina there is no rule of implied consent and refusal of FST is a defendants right although it does incur an automatic o e year suspension of license (revocable by the judge or jury on acquittal directed verdict, diversion, or prayer for judgement continued)
It’s still astounding to try to understand how no blood test was performed while under the care control and custody only offering deciding a Breathalyzer test and no blood work . Which seems like negligence .
The cops said they found an empty can of beer in the mans car.. Could it be possible the beer was just sitting somewhere and spilled all over him during the accident causing him to smell of alcohol??
in a country with a functioning justice system, no one should be able to be convicted with such bad evidence. there is a limit to how much alcohol you can have in your body and there is no evidence that that limit was exceeded in this case. someone within the legal limit may smell of alcohol. that they didn't take a blood test was pure stupidity and not the man's fault.
Basic burden is you take all evidence as presented, assuming everything in question (credibility witness, conflicting testimony, etc.) is taken in the light most favorable to the prosecution. If, given the prosecution's version is the true version, no reasonable jury looking at what was said and done could possibly convict the defendant, then you direct the verdict of not guilty. If it's possible that a reasonable jury could possibly convict, then the directed verdict is not allowed. Many judges don't want to make a directed verdict because they believe the jury will acquit, and publicly that looks more like justice than a judge telling the jury to acquit.
When I asked him the question about why he smelled of alcohol that day, I would’ve love to hear you object and say calls for speculation your honor. Everybody else said they didn’t smell alcohol. She suddenly she says she does smell alcohol how is he supposed to know why she smells alcohol? Maybe there was still alcohol in the room for the last person she saw the last time she was there or maybe it’s biased ascertainment she’s just gonna believe that there’s a smell alcohol and anybody that walks in the room. But my client cannot testify to why another person smells a thing.
In the prosecutors closing statement in the next video, he calls the defendent a liar about when he had those handful of drinks the night before. The guy had just had his teeth knocked in and he was knocked completely unconscious. He probably didnt know which way was up. I mnow when people have seizures and fall unconscious, they can't answer questions sensibly. I imagine its the same for a concussion. Regardless, that was sworn testimony and sworn testimony must be taken at face value unless its perjury.
Why can’t they just join the civilised world and have roadside breath test machines and a calibrated machine at the police station to take the evidential breath test. We even have roadside drug tamest which can be given to drivers. All this standing on one leg etc is rubbish in this day and age.

Most autoimmune diseases are of the most painful conditions known to man, especially RA. Many forms of this disease also cause dementia-like symptoms, during flares.
Larry , I know what it is like not to have balance , I live with it 16/7, the other 8 hours I'm in bed asleep , only then does it not affect me , my reason is my feet are numb , diabetic polyneuropathy , the sensory nerves in my feet and ankles are dead, the condition is incurable. I can drive an automatic but I wouldn't be able to do field sobriety tests because I appear drunk while standing still or walking ( I have to use a stick for support ) so I don't drink but to a police officer I would appear drunk and of course my breath wouldn't smell of drink either. I therefore empathize with Mr Edwards , his and my condition may have different names and causes but the visual result is of the same appearance to others I wonder why the police officer couldn't smell alcohol on Mr E at the scene of the accident but Tina could at the lab sometime later , odd that , unless she just writes it on every report whether it's true or not. Maybe Mr E was slurring his words because he had swelling to his lips , mouth and damaged teeth and a possible concussion
I had the exact same symptoms and was given the same diagnosis. Turns out I really had a benign tumor inside my spine compressing nervous until no signal could reach my legs. It was slow growing and took years to slowly cripple me. I'm no doctor, but I always recommend a second opinion. Just in case.
I just had a funny thought about when he was showing his feet - One of the lawyers asks "Do we have any podiatrists or arthritis specialists here?" Then every jury member raises their hand.
Am I the only person that thinks that officer Payne perjured herself? Why is she the only person out of several who claimed that they didn't smell any alcohol on Mr Edwards? Does she have a super sensitive nose or something? I wish that had been brought up. And also, please don't let any officers get by with saying "I'm not a doctor" when on the stand, and then let them answer no to the prosecutors question of did he look injured. If he's not able to answer if he's injured, then he's not able to answer if he's not. He can't be medically ignorant one minute, and then be knowledgeable the next.
You're not making any decisions without me.There, buddy, first of all second of all, you can just skip me on that and you'll never be my pay because I've never received any payments.This is all about me
I have an arthritic hip, a titanium rod in my spine, and a fused lumbar and SI joints. Sometimes I walk with a cane. I could never pass these tests ever.
I am a type 1 diabetic. If I eat a couple candy bars(without insulin) and get my sugars high, and took a breath test, it would tell you I was drinking!
The 5th amendment protects you from incriminating yourself. You are not required to help them investigate you. Stop talking too. Generally, drunks can't manage it.
You can refuse a field sobriety test. But, you can't refuse a chemical test of some kind without consequences. Most, if not all, states have a notice on the license itself saying if you refuse a chemical alcohol test you'll lose your license for a period of time. You've got to be prepared for that. Then, you hire Larry 😏
In Michigan, where I live, you can decline the field sobriety test without repercussions, but NOT the preliminary breath test. Refusing that gets you suspended for a year. The PBT cannot be used to convict you, but does give you probable cause for an arrest, as does refusing the FST.
His arthritis would not have bothered that test but if he had a head injury it most definitely would. And by the description of the officer and what was stated and what occurred and he hit his head on that steering wheel yes it most definitely would have affected that test and it would have made him think possibly that he was under the influence when he was not. Is a person who has nursing experience and medical college education.
Unfortunately, the HGN test is unreliable at best because there are other reasons that could cause the same eye-jerking results including: Inner ear fluid movement, Antidepressants, Seizure medication, Head injury, Contact lenses, Caffeine Drowsiness, Dry or irritated eyes, Smoking, Stress, and Pressure on the optic nerve. In addition to these conditions, the officer performing the test may make mistakes. The test must be performed at a 45-degree angle from 12-15 inches away. His eyes need to be parallel to the subject's eyes. If any of these factors are not met, the test results are invalid. The NHTSA warns nearly 95% of the HGN tests given have inaccurate results. This is why these tests are often inadmissible in court.
@@adk2277 exactly. But the biggest point where they sank themselves was the fact that when she read that paperwork it said he could do one of the three but it did not have to be the one that they were requesting as the first one. If I was him I would definitely go back and sue their asses.
I have RA and I have feet that are not so great either. I wear a huge black leather boot that was made to support and fit to my foot. $3,000 boot. I fall every so often because I trip over my own feet. I could never do field sobriety tests. Even the eye test is effectively because of my medications. I would ask for blood also. I have watched enough videos that I know not to help them incriminate myself. I drive the speed limit and drive safely, because I know that cops always look for drunk drivers and know I would be taken in.
The evidence presented by the prosecution doesn’t prove that beyond a reasonable doubt. Was he drinking ? Yes. Was he impaired ? We’ll never know if they didn’t draw blood
Field sobriety tests should be outlawed there set up for failer because you still have a cop making the final decision and thats wrong. It should road side breathalyzer and thats it. We in canada have never had field sobriety test. Also there many times it dangerous where there at to do these stupid tests. Plus i know who would fail sober. So there is just to many bad factors that can happen to not give a true out come.
I do think the judge was totally wrong in not dismissing this mans charge of impaired. You would have to be a complete idiot not to know that there is nothing in this case proving him guilty . This judge should know that , im really disappointed in this judge
I am shocked the judge didn't throw it out!
Then they wouldn't make as much money. We wonder why our court system is so backed up.
The judge is sleeping with one of the DA's.

Larry , I know what it is like not to have balance , I live with it 16/7, the other 8 hours I'm in bed asleep , only then does it not affect me , my reason is my feet are numb , diabetic polyneuropathy , the sensory nerves in my feet and ankles are dead, the condition is incurable.
I can drive an automatic but I wouldn't be able to do field sobriety tests because I appear drunk while standing still or walking ( I have to use a stick for support ) so I don't drink but to a police officer I would appear drunk and of course my breath wouldn't smell of drink either.
I therefore empathize with Mr Edwards , his and my condition may have different names and causes but the visual result is of the same appearance to others
I wonder why the police officer couldn't smell alcohol on Mr E at the scene of the accident but Tina could at the lab sometime later , odd that , unless she just writes it on every report whether it's true or not.
Maybe Mr E was slurring his words because he had swelling to his lips , mouth and damaged teeth and a possible concussion
I had the exact same symptoms and was given the same diagnosis. Turns out I really had a benign tumor inside my spine compressing nervous until no signal could reach my legs. It was slow growing and took years to slowly cripple me.
I'm no doctor, but I always recommend a second opinion. Just in case.
yes, it's hard to talk when you've had your teeth knocked out and have a swollen lip
Why do Government officials go out of their 2ay to act stupid.
No matter how bad of a job they do, they still will not go bankrupt. And this they have figured out long time ago.
No objection for his question about alcohol smell why ?
I just had a funny thought about when he was showing his feet - One of the lawyers asks "Do we have any podiatrists or arthritis specialists here?" Then every jury member raises their hand.
that would have been epic
"Let's begin at the beginning"
Your rhetorical talents are second to none, Sir.
My niece has rheumatoid arthritis. She has had all of her toes broken by doctors as a type of treatment.
Oh how awful🙏
Hey look, it's George McFly on the Defense!😂😂😂😂😂
Uh-oh somebody from the stateside didn't follow through
Am I the only person that thinks that officer Payne perjured herself? Why is she the only person out of several who claimed that they didn't smell any alcohol on Mr Edwards? Does she have a super sensitive nose or something? I wish that had been brought up.
And also, please don't let any officers get by with saying "I'm not a doctor" when on the stand, and then let them answer no to the prosecutors question of did he look injured. If he's not able to answer if he's injured, then he's not able to answer if he's not. He can't be medically ignorant one minute, and then be knowledgeable the next.
Larry is.........._____________!
(Feel free to add in your own add lib! 😉)
I say Larry is THE MAN!
What doxu folks say???
You're not making any decisions without me.There, buddy, first of all second of all, you can just skip me on that and you'll never be my pay because I've never received any payments.This is all about me
I have an arthritic hip, a titanium rod in my spine, and a fused lumbar and SI joints. Sometimes I walk with a cane. I could never pass these tests ever.
Most unique case? Can one thing be more unique (ONE OF A KIND) than another?
Yes, with all the different aspects being unique.
I am a type 1 diabetic. If I eat a couple candy bars(without insulin) and get my sugars high, and took a breath test, it would tell you I was drinking!
How do they expect him to blow with his busted lip?
LOL Another Cut before the Verdict!!! You Rarely show the verdicts (mainly guilty). Why Larry? Why? Guilty Guilty Guilty!!!
You don't watch 😏 He posts in segments. It will come and it's gonna be awesome ❤What's the evidence for guilty?
I couldn’t hear what the judge said at the end. Was it yes no sustained overruled what
His that the judge who does everything in the court room
I dont know if i can wait till Tuesday😅
I thought you could legally refuse A field sobriety test with no repercussion.?
In some states if you do refuse, it's an automatic 1 year suspension.
The 5th amendment protects you from incriminating yourself. You are not required to help them investigate you. Stop talking too. Generally, drunks can't manage it.
The repercussions is that you can loose your license
You can refuse a field sobriety test. But, you can't refuse a chemical test of some kind without consequences. Most, if not all, states have a notice on the license itself saying if you refuse a chemical alcohol test you'll lose your license for a period of time. You've got to be prepared for that. Then, you hire Larry 😏
In Michigan, where I live, you can decline the field sobriety test without repercussions, but NOT the preliminary breath test. Refusing that gets you suspended for a year. The PBT cannot be used to convict you, but does give you probable cause for an arrest, as does refusing the FST.
His arthritis would not have bothered that test but if he had a head injury it most definitely would. And by the description of the officer and what was stated and what occurred and he hit his head on that steering wheel yes it most definitely would have affected that test and it would have made him think possibly that he was under the influence when he was not. Is a person who has nursing experience and medical college education.
The RA would most definitely affected the test. It significantly impacts his overall balance.
Did you watch the video ?
@@toolegittoquit_001 I was talking about the eye test portion of it.
Unfortunately, the HGN test is unreliable at best because there are other reasons that could cause the same eye-jerking results including:
Inner ear fluid movement, Antidepressants, Seizure medication, Head injury, Contact lenses, Caffeine
Drowsiness, Dry or irritated eyes, Smoking, Stress, and Pressure on the optic nerve.
In addition to these conditions, the officer performing the test may make mistakes. The test must be performed at a 45-degree angle from 12-15 inches away. His eyes need to be parallel to the subject's eyes. If any of these factors are not met, the test results are invalid. The NHTSA warns nearly 95% of the HGN tests given have inaccurate results. This is why these tests are often inadmissible in court.
@@adk2277 exactly. But the biggest point where they sank themselves was the fact that when she read that paperwork it said he could do one of the three but it did not have to be the one that they were requesting as the first one. If I was him I would definitely go back and sue their asses.
I have RA and I have feet that are not so great either. I wear a huge black leather boot that was made to support and fit to my foot. $3,000 boot. I fall every so often because I trip over my own feet. I could never do field sobriety tests. Even the eye test is effectively because of my medications. I would ask for blood also. I have watched enough videos that I know not to help them incriminate myself. I drive the speed limit and drive safely, because I know that cops always look for drunk drivers and know I would be taken in.
He was definitely drinking and driving
You are definitely lying out your ass...
What's the evidence unless you're just trolling 😂
The evidence presented by the prosecution doesn’t prove that beyond a reasonable doubt. Was he drinking ? Yes. Was he impaired ? We’ll never know if they didn’t draw blood
Field sobriety tests should be outlawed there set up for failer because you still have a cop making the final decision and thats wrong. It should road side breathalyzer and thats it. We in canada have never had field sobriety test. Also there many times it dangerous where there at to do these stupid tests. Plus i know who would fail sober. So there is just to many bad factors that can happen to not give a true out come.
I do think the judge was totally wrong in not dismissing this mans charge of impaired. You would have to be a complete idiot not to know that there is nothing in this case proving him guilty . This judge should know that , im really disappointed in this judge
