CT 724: Mr. Miller's client avoids jail after third arrest for DUI. The client retained Mr. Miller to represent him regarding DUI arrests in 2005 and 2012. In the 2005 arrest, Mr. Miller filed a motion to suppress evidence and prepared the case for trial. On the morning of jury selection, the prosecutor offered to reduce the charge and the client accepted a plea deal that involved short probation. In the most recent 2012 DUI arrest, the prosecutor initially offered the client a plea that involved a lengthy jail sentence. Mr. Miller negotiated a plea and also involved the judge regarding an appropriate sentence. The Judge sentenced Mr. Miller's client to a probationary sentence and avoided any jail whatsoever.

CF 1481: Mr. Miller’s client was arrested and charged by Information with a third offense DUI. The State Attorney’s Office offered to the Defendant a plea offer that included six months in the county jail. Because the facts of the case led Mr. Miller to believe a jury would convict his client, Mr. Miller recommended a sentencing hearing to his client. Mr. Miller prepared a sentencing hearing, and presented evidence to the judge on behalf of his client. Ultimately, the judge sentenced the Defendant to fifteen consecutive weekends in the county jail. This type of sentence allowed Mr. Miller’s client to maintain her employment, and was considerably less than the prosecutor’s recommendation to the Court.
