Attention California DUI Defendants - It Ain't Over Till It's Over
Just because you’ve been convicted of a California DUI, all hope is not lost. There are so many factors that a skilled California criminal defense attorney could challenge during the case or on appeal.
Prosecutorial misconduct, jury misconduct, ineffective assistance of counsel…these are all issues that could cause a mistrial or overturn a conviction, which could ultimately acquit you of your drunk driving charges.
Take, for example, jury misconduct. If you or your attorney discover the fact that a juror lied about his/her personal prejudices during the jury selection process which prejudiced you from receiving a fair trial, refused to deliberate during deliberations, conducted an independent investigation of the case, or relied on outside evidence to decide your fate, the judge may have to declare a mistrial.
A mistrial could result in your case being retried or dismissed. When these types of issues present themselves, it presents you with another chance to fight your case…and another chance to have the case resolved in your favor.
