Penalties for Felony DUI in Wyoming

Possible Defenses Against a DUI 

When a driver’s blood-alcohol content (BAC) comes back over the legal limit of 0.08% or higher, it’s easy for the driver to think that they’re trapped, with no way out other than accepting what the prosecution offers. That’s not the case. An experienced Wyoming felony DUI lawyer has several paths that can be investigated. To wit…

  • Did the arresting officer have reasonable suspicion before putting on their flashing red lights and making the stop? 
  • Was the breathalyzer equipment properly calibrated to ensure accuracy? 
  • Did a blood test follow the proper chain of custody protocols that are meant to ensure its accuracy?
  • Did the driver consume any food, take any medication or deal with any health conditions that might cause an inaccurate BAC reading? 

These issues can be much more common than people realize. That’s why it’s always a good idea to let an experienced felony DUI attorney do the talking and negotiating with a prosecutor. An investigation into issues like the above may be able to open the door to reduced charges or even outright acquittal.
