A Stoughton, Massachusetts man was held without bail after being charged with a 4th offense DUI. A Massachusetts Fourth Offense OUI is a felony and carries with it the possibility of 2.5 years in the house of correction and carries a mandatory sentence of two years in the house of correction with a one year mandatory minimum sentence.
According to news accounts, the suspect Paul Davenport, allegedly was involved in a hit and run accident and was stopped when police identified the car as being involved in an accident with heavy front end damage. The police did not observe any erratic operation and claim that the defendant failed two out of four field sobriety tests.
Davenport's DUI lawyer appears to have a strong case as according to the police own testimony the defendant passed two field tests. The police deemed Davenport to have failed the one leg stand, despite evidence that the motorist had an injury to his left leg. At trial, in addition to challenge the general unreliability of the one leg stand test, a DUI attorney could present medical records documenting the motorist's medical problems with his left leg, explaining any officer testimony regarding a lack of balance.
