District Court Trial Result: Not Guilty.
In this case Mr. Hiltzheimer’s client fell asleep behind the wheel while waiting at a stop light behind another accident that had already occurred, and while unconscious, rear-ended another vehicle. Because police were already on scene, the collision was recorded on an officer’s dashcam. The client was arrested and blew a 0.17 on the Intox breathalyzer. The client was found Not Guilty at a district court trial because the State failed to produce a witness who personally observed our client behind the wheel of the vehicle, and the court found the evidence to be insufficient to support a conviction.
