We recently tried a DUI case which originated from the Miami Beach police department. In this case the officer testified that he witnessed our client swerving and driving erratically at 3:30 am on Washington and 17th Street. The officer was deposed prior to trial (our office filled a motion for a deposition which the court granted) and testified that the traffic was light the evening of the incident.
However, through our pre-trial interview with our client and subsequent investigation we were able to prove at trial that the officer was not exactly truthful. It seems that the night of the incident, the Winter Music Conference was taking place on Miami Beach and the traffic was bumper to bumper.
After the trial I was able to speak with the jury foreman who shared with me that once it was shown in cross examination that the officer was not being honest about the reason for the initial stop everything else he testified to was dismissed as untruthful by the jurors.
Contact our office so we can help you too.
