Great article by J. Gary Trichter on the subject of DWI/DUI cases and the importance of Voir Dire

Voir Dire in DWI/DUI Cases


J. Gary Trichter wrote an excellent article that appeared in NACDL's January/February Champion Magazine, entitled Thinking Outside the DWI Voir Dire Box .

Wikipedia quotes Gordon P. Cleary to define the term voir dire. He said "Voir Dire is the process by which attorneys select, or perhaps more appropriately reject, certain jurors to hear a case."

In his article, Mr. Trichter explains that voir dire is extremely important in DWI cases, especially when there is breath or blood alcohol evidence and offers numerous questions, comments, and tips for defending a DWI case.

FAQ

DUI and DWI

I've been hearing a lot about a program called DADSS - what is it?

Can I beat a show cause summons due to a clerical error?  

I was convicted of a second DUI and sentenced to 180 days of jail with 160 suspended, and the 20 days being mandatory.  I decided to pull my time on weekends, and when I registered for jail, the captain told me that I'd be pulling 10 days, because it was a misdemeanor it was explained to me that I'd be pulling day for a day.

I fulfilled my 10 days and have now been issued a show cause as to why i didn't pull the remaining 10.  After contacting the jail, i've found out that the court did not put MANDATORY on the order for the jail. Do i have a case for dismissal because of this error on the court's part?

I was recently convicted of a DUI in Virginia and received a restricted drivers license.  I have to show proof of FR44 insurance.  My current policy is within the limits of the FR44 guidelines. Can I bring my policy into the DMV and will that be sufficient, or does it have to come from my insurance carrier?  I really would hate to contact them if I do not have to, for the obvious reason of raised rates.
