OWI / PAC 1st – Dane County (March 2023)

Result: Case Dismissed After Officer Testimony

Handled By: Attorney Corey Chirafisi

Summary: Stopped for speeding at 1:50 a.m., the client was charged after a breath test registered .08. At a bench trial, Attorney Chirafisi’s cross-examination of the arresting officer exposed errors in testing procedures and field sobriety instructions. Mid-hearing, the prosecutor moved to dismiss both OWI and PAC charges, acknowledging the State could not prove its case. This marked another of Chirafisi’s 12 dismissals or acquittals in 14 recent trials.
