People v. MR

- The Defendant was charged with 5 counts of Felony Aggravated DUI, drugs and alcohol, involving an Accident with great bodily harm, where he was allegedly driving in excess of 100 mph before losing control and hitting a pole. Both he and the passenger were physically thrown from the car several feet from the impact. The Defendant was the driver of the car with one passenger in a one-car accident. Both the passenger and Defendant suffered severe brain injuries and serious medical problems, where it was believed neither would survive. At the hospital emergency room, a blood draw of Defendant was taken for a medical diagnosis. Salvatore C. Miglore researched, investigated and prepared himself for trial regarding the blood and urine draws, by retaining experts and private investigators to expose the weaknesses in the State’s case, based upon the failure of the hospital to conduct the analysis, according to a proper scientific protocol. After several motions to bar the blood draw results, the State offered a plea agreement for a reduction to a lesser offense of a misdemeanor “reckless driving” due to the issues with the blood and urine tests, and other proof issues. The Defendant received one year probation on the misdemeanor and all the felony counts were dismissed. (Note: The Defendant had prior convictions for felonies.)
