A 25-year-old North Attleboro woman is appealing her conviction after being sentenced to jail earlier this month for Massachusetts vehicular homicide charges, The Sun-Chronicle reported.
A Quincy OUI defense lawyer, or a Boston criminal defense attorney experienced in representing people facing criminal charges as a result of a Massachusetts OUI car accident, should be called to defend anyone facing serious traffic or felony charges in the Boston area.
In this case, the defendant was found innocent of Massachusetts drunk driving charges and possession of marijuana. Her Quincy defense lawyer filed a Massachusetts notice of intent to appeal the conviction, after arguing at trial in Taunton District Court that the woman was not speeding or driving recklessly when she struck pedestrians on a darkened portion of the highway where there was no crosswalk.
The Aug. 8, 2004 car accident on Route 1 near Stop & Shop resulted in the death of two pedestrians, including a pregnant woman and her unborn child.
The defendant is serving a three-month jail sentence after her Jan. 12 conviction on the three charges of motor vehicle homicide. She was also sentenced to three-months home confinement. The balance of her 2 1/2 year jail term was suspended.
