Albo & Oblon LLP: Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) and Driving Under the Influence (DUI) (DUI and DWI are the same offense in Virginia, unlike in many other states). This area of law is surprisingly complicated. The law occupies 42 pages of the Virginia Code.
Bose Law Firm: Driving under the influence and drunk driving are synonymous terms under Virginia law. The government has the burden of proving its case "beyond a reasonable doubt," the same standard applicable to criminal prosecutions. In the drunk driving context, the government proves its case against a defendant by introducing the driver's (1) Driving Behavior (2) Appearance and Coordination, and/or (3) Scientific evidence.
John Zwerling: Pleading the Fifth may have a catch. Court considers whether suspects can be forced to hand over incriminating papers. It is a protection the Founding Fathers created to safeguard against potential abuses of overzealous government prosecutors. The basic idea is that the government may not compel a suspect to provide incriminating evidence against himself. Now, the US Supreme Court is considering whether to approve a significant exception to this fundamental constitutional protection. Specifically, the court will decide whether prosecutors can use a grant of immunity to compel the target of an investigation to surrender incriminating documents, and then turn around and use those same documents to indict the still-immunized target.
