Recently, the world of professional basketball witnessed an unmatched spectacle when countless high level free agents were on the market at the same time. Names such as Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh, Amare Stoudemire and, of course, Lebron James, were just some of the big names on this year's NBA free agent list, spawning fans to root hard for their teams to make a splash. When Lebron signed with Miami, some fans were angry, others were distraught. One individual however chose to use it as a defense for his drunk driving charge.
Police pulled a man over around 2:40 AM after watching him swerve on the road. When the man was asked if he had been drinking, he admitted that he had, because LeBron James had decided to play for the Miami Heat instead of the Boston Celtics. A Breathalyzer Test revealed the driver's blood alcohol content to be .61, which is twice the legal limit. Apparently, he was so drunk he did not realize that LeBron was never going to sign with the Celtics, it was the Cavaliers he had played with before.
When a Los Angeles DUI Defense Attorney represents someone, he usually encounters an individual who is under a great deal of stress, or who is distraught over some tragedy. When a California politician was pulled over for a DUI, it turns out that individual had been hiding the fact that he was gay from his friends and family, as well as the voters in his region. Others battle alcohol addictions due to the loss of a job (quite common these days) or because there is family trouble due to a divorce, deceased loved one or something else. The courts and the police will not care about such circumstances unless a
Los Angeles DUI Defense Attorney does his job and makes the court aware that his client is not simply an out of control individual.
