2nd OFFENSE OUI- Liquor or .08% Chapter 90 Section 24(1) (a) (1)
Client was stopped by State Police after swerving in and out of traffic. After he was stopped, the officer stated he noticed the strong odor of alcohol coming from client's breath and that he was staggering. When asked to perform a sobriety test client stated, "He couldn't do if he was sober". The District Attorney sought a deal with included client admitting guilt, attending a two week program inpatient program and serving a suspended prison sentence of 3 months in the house of correction. Attorney Barabino declined the deal and went before a judge and asked that none of the request the district attorney be accepted and client be given a first offense disposition. The judge agreed with Attorney Barabino. Client's record will be dismissed if he complies with probation requirements.
