Recent Sumter County DUI Results

Bushnell, Sumter County—The client was involved in a serious multi-car accident where serious bodily injury occurred to the other driver and the passenger of the client’s vehicle. The client was initially charged with Careless Driving while the victims remained in the Hospital.

The client’s blood was taken at the hospital. The family of the client immediately contacted the Law Offices of Whittel & Melton to investigate the accident and begin preparation for the defense of Felony DUI—Serious Bodily Injury. This is a third-degree Felony, and the client faced up to five (5) years in State Prison and a minimum mandatory sentence of three (3) years in State Prison.

Our investigation of the case proved worthwhile as several potential holes in the State’s case developed concerning the analysis of the blood sample and, most notably, regarding inaccuracies of the witnesses in the case.

RESULT: Felony DUI dropped; Careless Driving NOT GUILTY.
