A client hired Piel Law Office after being charged with operating a motor vehicle with a detectable amount of a restricted controlled substance as a first offense.
During the jury trial, the defense objected to the admission of the test results used by the prosecution. Despite the objection, the client was initially found guilty.
After carefully reviewing the case, the defense identified an appellate issue involving the State’s failure to comply with requirements under Wisconsin Statute §343.305, which governs procedures related to chemical testing in OWI investigations.
The case was appealed to the Wisconsin Court of Appeals. The appellate court agreed with the defense argument and overturned the conviction.
As a result, the case against the client was dismissed.
Piel Law Office is a Wisconsin-based criminal defense firm with over 30 years of experience protecting clients facing OWI and other serious criminal charges.
