Client G went out to dinner with a friend and had a few drinks. After leaving the restaurant, and while obeying all traffic laws, a teenager darted across the street and was struck by the client's vehicle. The young man was killed. A subsequent investigation showed that the teenager drank an excessive amount of alcohol but it also showed that the client had a blood alcohol level of approximately twice the legal limit. The police investigation was ultimately delivered to the office of the state attorney and a decision was made to charge the client with DUI manslaughter. The client contended all along that although driving with an unlawful blood alcohol level, he did not cause or contribute to the accident or the young man's death. Ultimately, the state agreed with the defense and dropped the DUI manslaughter charge. The client ended up pleading to simple DUI and was placed on probation.
