DUI Manslaughter

A past client (Mr. B) had a few drinks at a local bar and then left on his motorcycle. He stopped at an intersection waiting for traffic to clear and then pulled out. Unfortunately, behind the last car was another motorcycle occupied by its driver and passenger. The vehicles collided and the passenger died. The client had an unlawful blood-alcohol level and was charged with DUI manslaughter. The case was fully investigated and an animation was made of the accident to prove that alcohol had nothing to do with the crash but rather it was the result of unfortunate circumstances which were unforeseen and unintended. The state ultimately dropped the case down to “not having a motorcycle endorsement” on his license and he avoided a prison sentence.
