Hello there
I have a background in law so am attempting to help my gf, however I do not practice so I require some advice. I hope you can help.
My gf has been charged with 2 offences - drunk driving and drunk whilst in charge of a motor vehicle. She had been at the pub with her sister and drove home - the bar staff reported her to the police. She was in the shower when the police arrived.
She had 1 glass of wine at the pub and then another when she got home. She feels this 2nd glass put her over the limit (her breath reading was 43).
When taken to the station her reading was again 43 and then 41.
The police and bar staff allege that she had more than 1 drink at the pub as they have submitted till receipts as evidence; of six drinks being purchased. However these were bought by her sister who had consumed these extra drinks. (The six drinks were all glasses of wine).
However the drinks were bought in batches of 2 (in my opinion this looks like the drinks were bought for both to consume). So three rounds of two glasses of wine each time.
Surely if she had consumed more than one drink at the pub (they allege 3) her reading would be higher? I'm of the view that a toxicologist report would correlate with this view and prove her innocence?
I have looked at all papers and there are no procedural errors, so this seems like her only defense.
The evidence from cps also refers to cctv but does not make clear what is on this. I suspect it's footage of the car leaving the car park but I could be wrong. We are not allowed access to this tape until she pleads not guilty on Tuesday.
I hope you can advise!
Warm regards
