Prosecutors decided not to bring DUI charges against Joey Porter acknowledging that they were unlikely to be able to prove the case beyond a reasonable doubt to a jury. In Massachusetts, it is extremely rare for a prosecutor to dismiss even a weak DUI case. Generally, even in cases that are difficult for the Commonwealth, the Commonwealth will proceed to trial as most prosecutors are unable to dismiss an OUI in Massachusetts pursuant to orders of the district attorney. Generally, even a case with a breathalyzer reading of .07 or .06, requires the case to proceed to a Massachusetts OUI trial.
