DUI Celebrity News

TV host Gary Collins was arrested for a DUI yesterday in Los Angeles.  He was apparently involved in an accident that, according to the police was not his fault, then arrested for a misdemeanor dui.  According to the police, Collins smelled of Alcohol and then failed a field sobriety test.  The kicker here, his bond was set at $40,000.  How crazy is that.  The MADD Mother Mafia is at it again. 

Prosecutor Kills Self

The Florida Prosecutor who was caught flying to Detroit to have sex with a five year old girl killed himself today.  I am a Birmingham,  Alabama Criminal Defense lawyer and I will defend almost anyone accused of any crime because I believe everyone has a right to competent legal representation.  However, I cannot stand hypocrisy.  Here is a man who had no problem throwing the book at others he accused of crimes, yet he was engaging in sick heinous criminal behavior.  I hope he rots in hell and gets more of what he deserves.  My Alabama DUI and Criminal Defense Blog will shine a spotlight on hypocrits in power. 

Criminal Law News: O.J. Simpson Gets Bail

In recent criminal law news, O.J. Simpson did not enter a plea today.  His bail was set at $125,000 for an armed robbery at a Las Vegas casino.  O.J. was asked if he understood the charges against him and he is expected to be released soon.  O.J. is facing life in prison and is charged with ten felony counts:

  • Two counts of first degree kidnapping
  • Two counts of robbery with a deadly weapon
  • Burglary while in possession of a firearm
  • Coercion while in possession of a deadly weapon
  • Two counts of assault with a deadly weapon
  • Conspiracy to commit kidnapping
  • Conspiracy to commit robbery

 

Prosecutors File Charges Against O.J. Simpson

Prosecutors filed formal charges against O.J. Simpson today.  O.J. faces ten felony charges including kidnapping and armed robbery.  The juice faces life imprisonment if convicted in the robbery.  He is accused of trying to steal sports memorabilia at the Palace Station casino.  O.J. is going to need a really, really good criminal defense attorney at this point.  His alleged cohorts are already coping pleas and ratting to save their own skin.  It is a shame that when a celebrity criminal defendant is involved, the district attorney is more concerned about nabbing the "big fish," and getting into the papers than justice.  This is the same scenario we saw with the Michael Vick escapade.  The other participants, who may have actually been more heavily involved in the crime, get a light sentence in exchange for testifying against the celebrity.  And how reliable is this testimony anyway? These are confessed criminals who are now trying to save their own skin, wouldn't they say or do anything to get off easier?  I certainly think so.  I think it is an injustice that this kind of accomplice testimony is allowed in court proceedings.  This type of testimony has to be more unreliable than say, hearsay for example.  Also, as an aside, how can a self-respecting criminal defense attorney represent a rat?

DUI Celebrities - Jeremy Stevens Found Guilty of DUI

Jeremy Stevens, the Tampa Bay Buccaneer's tight-end, was found guilty of DUI today.  The officer that testified against Stevens, said "he smelled of alcohol, had bloodshot eyes and slurred speech."  I find this interesting because this seems to be the standard refrain from police officers in DUI cases.  It's like they are issued manuals pieced together from old DUI case law.  Those three descriptions are testified to with such repetition, you would think everyone who ever drove a car after drinking, must poor kegs of beer over their heads, smoke a pound of hash, and get so stumbling drunk they talk like Otis from the Andy Griffith show.  

What is so shocking about this kind of testimony is its subjectivity.  Lets say the cop had a bad day, or you just pissed him off because you didn't kiss his bloody bum.  It becomes really easy for him to say, "You smell like alcohol, step out of the car."  It is also really easy to make up on the stand when pressured by defense counsel.  I know most cops would not do these things. But in my experience, I have seen it occur to often to believe it doesn't happen with some regularity.
