Macon DUI Case Result: Client Acquitted Despite 0.151 BAC Reading
Our Macon DUI defense team successfully defended a client charged with multiple DUI offenses in Bibb County State Court. Despite facing serious charges and a blood alcohol content (BAC) reading of 0.151 – nearly twice the legal limit – our client was acquitted of all DUI charges at a bench trial.
Our Client’s Original Charges
The client was initially charged with:
- DUI (Driving Under the Influence)
- DUI Less Safe (Alcohol)
- DUI Per Se (BAC over 0.08)
- Speeding (50 mph in a 35 mph zone)
Case Details
Traffic Stop
The arrest occurred on Riverside Drive in Macon when our client was stopped for speeding 15 mph over the posted limit. The Georgia State Patrol officer reported observing signs of impairment and conducted field sobriety tests.
Evidence Against Our Client
- Blood test results showing BAC of 0.151
- Failed field sobriety tests
- Officer observations of impairment
- Admission to consuming alcohol
Defense Strategy
Our experienced Macon DUI attorneys identified critical weaknesses in the prosecution’s case, challenging:
- The reliability of the blood test procedures
- The administration and interpretation of field sobriety tests
- The officer’s observations and conclusions
- Chain of custody issues with evidence
Trial Outcome
ACQUITTED: All DUI-related charges
CONVICTED: Speeding violation only
This outstanding result demonstrates the importance of experienced DUI defense representation, even in cases with seemingly overwhelming evidence.
Why This Case Matters
This case illustrates several key points about Georgia DUI defense:
High BAC Doesn’t Guarantee Conviction
Even with a BAC nearly twice the legal limit, skilled defense attorneys can challenge the prosecution’s case and achieve favorable outcomes.
Technical Defenses Matter
Proper handling of blood evidence, adherence to testing protocols, and constitutional protections all play crucial roles in DUI cases.
Experience Makes the Difference
Our deep understanding of Georgia DUI law and courtroom experience in Bibb County enabled us to identify and exploit weaknesses in what appeared to be a strong prosecution case.
