Migliore & Infranco: If your license is suspended you have exposure to criminal prosecution that could result in severe consequences.
Stephen Kunken: Pursuant to FRE 609, evidence of a witness's prior felony convictions may be admissible to impeach the credibility of the witness, as long as the probative value of the evidence is not substantially outweighed by the danger of unfair prejudice. Similarly, evidence of a defendant's prior felony convictions may be admissible to impeach the credibility of the defendant, if the court determines that the probative value of the evidence outweighs its prejudicial effect to the accused. This is a less restrictive measure than the one required for witnesses, which means that it is easier to impeach a defendant with evidence of a prior felony conviction than it is to impeach another witness.
