King County, Seattle Municipal Court DUI Trial results in a NOT GUILTY Verdict

Another DUI case just went to trial.  It's easy to forget that there is no such thing as an easy case.  This is a prime example.  However, our client did the right thing and believed in her case, and we in her, and as a result she was found not guilty.
The trial is also another reminder that when a case could go either way it is imperative that the attorneys know the law and are also trained in field sobriety testing.  Knowing more than the prosecutor and the officer is necessary!
This case was in Seattle Municipal Court where there is little tolerance for DUI drivers.  Further, the Judges seem to side in favor of the officers and prosecutors with their rulings.  However, despite the difficulty of this setting, the lead attorney for this trial, Stephanie Hartung, strutured a solid, well prepared and honest case that the jury rightfully believed.  Well done Stephanie.

By Peyton Whitely

A sentence of more than a year in jail was imposed Friday on Deana Jarrett, a former Seattle police officer and airport-security supervisor who once was described as the drunkest driver ever arrested by the Washington State Patrol.

The terms, imposed in King County District Court in Redmond, were for a series of four offenses dating to 2001, but most of them for driving-under-the-influence charges brought in 2007.
