Fairfax VA agrees to Reduce DUI charge hours before Court Ordered Intoxilyzer Inspection

March 20, 2009

THE RESULTS OF SPECIFIC CASES REPORTED ARE NOT MEANT TO BE A PREDICTION OR GUARANTEE OF ANY OTHER CASE. EACH CASE CONSISTS OF FACTORS UNIQUE TO THAT CASE.
A client charged in Fairfax County with a DUI was allowed to plead to a reduced charge of Reckless Driving with no license suspension. The accused’s Breath Result was a .14 according to the Fairfax County Intoxilyzer 5000 machine. However Richmond, Virginia DUI Lawyer Bob Battle convinced the Fairfax County General District Court Judge that the use of unknown replacement parts, including a replacement “chopper motor,” merited an inspection of the machine by his expert, Thomas Workman.

Just hours before Mr. Workman was set to test the machine, the Fairfax County prosecutor contacted Bob Battle with the plea bargain offer.
Bob Battle was interviewed about the Case and Intoxilyzer 5000 issue. Here is the video.
