DWI Resulting in Death Charges Reduced

Client was charged in DWI resulting in Death after allegedly taking police on a highspeed chase while intoxicated, wrecking his vehicle resulting in the death of a passenger. Client allegedly admitted to drinking all day and police claimed to have found beer bottles in the vehicle. We were able to successfully challenge the evidence of intoxication and persuaded the prosecutor to ammend the charge to involuntary manslaughter with a sentence of 6 years. As a result, our client will only have to serve 28 months before becoming eligible for parole.
