- Riley, Jeanette:
estimony of witnesses is a common way to present evidence during a criminal trial. However, before the testimony of a witness can be accepted during a defendant's trial it must be established that the witness is competent or have the capacity to testify.
- Art Busch:
If you are facing jail or prison it is crucial that you hire a competent criminal defense attorney immediately. Representing yourself in the criminal courts is a right guaranteed by the United States Constitution. But, most people are unable to represent themselves properly in a criminal matter because they face so many variables and complexities.
Most criminal defense attorneys prefer to start investigating a case as soon as the known there is a criminal investigation underway.

IF YOU ARE PULLED OVER FOR DRUNK DRIVING:
1. You should not refuse the
Breath Test unless it is your 2nd Drunk Driving Arrest in 7 years or
your 3rd Drunk Driving Arrest in 10 years.
2. Refusing the Breath Test
results in a total loss of your driving privileges for 6 months and 6
points added to your driving record.
3. Be polite toward the
Police Officer. He/She may give you a break. Be careful about what you
say. If you admit that you were drinking it WILL BE used against
you in court. 4. You have a
right to call an attorney before taking the Breath Test at the Police
Station. Insist on it if they refuse your request, IT IS YOUR RIGHT!
5. After you take the Breath
Test you have the right to request an independent Breath or
Blood/Urine Test at a hospital. Do this if you suspect the Police
Breath Test was faulty. 6.
Most individuals are released the next morning. However, the louder you
are the longer you stay in jail.
7. Call an attorney the next
day while the information is still fresh in your mind.
