A Second Offense Massachusetts DUI charge was brought against Jeffrey Lind in the Dedham District Court according to a news account.
The DUI charge arises from a three car accident where according to the news report Lind claims the accident was caused when he dropped his cell phone. Police allege in Lind's cases, as in most all DUI arrests, that they smelled an odor of alcohol and detected that his eyes were blood shot and glassy. Bloodshot and glassy eyes along with an officer claiming to have smelled a strong odor of alcohol are very generic observations in DUI arrests. Almost all reports contain these observations as most police departments have boxes for the officer to check these characteristics so that they are not omitted from a police report. An experienced DUI lawyer in Dedham can evaluate a police report and help a motorist charged with a First or Second offense OUI evaluate the Commonwealth's case.
In the case of Mr. Lind, a Massachusetts OUI attorney would want to review the cause of the accident to attempt to demonstrate that it was caused by ordinary driver error. The statement that the driver was looking for his cell phone is a common cause of accidents that indicates the driving error was not related to consumption of alcohol. Additionally, a criminal defense lawyer would evaluate the field sobriety tests, the conditions under which the tests were taken, whether under extremely poor weather conditions, poor road conditions or whether the driver had any medical condition making balance and coordination difficult as a result of an injury.
