Jury Finds Client "Not Guilty" of DUI

A Franklin County Jury acquits Koffel & Jump client after 4 day jury trial.

4-9-09:  NOT GUILTY VERDICT -- Accountant Found NOT GUILTY of Ohio OVI / Ohio DUI after 4-day Jury Trial (.102% Breath Test) -- our client, a 26 year old accountant, was charged with Ohio OVI / Ohio DUI after being stopped for speeding and subsequently for failing to pull over. Our client’s employment would be in jeopardy if he suffered an Ohio OVI conviction. He performed average on the field sobriety tests. His breath test result was .102%. After 7 months of representation, Attorney Steve Fox held a hearing to debate the validity of our client’s breath test. The State could not substantiate the breath test, and it was dismissed. Two months later, our client’s case was set for Jury Trial and the State would not offer anything other than a plea to the Ohio OVI charge. Attorney Steve Fox took the case to trial, and the jury found our client to be Not Guilty. He will plea to a minor misdemeanor speed and pay a minimum fine. (Represented by Attorney Steve Fox.)
