Charges: Careless Driving and Leaving the Scene of an Accident – Misdemeanor Counts
Resolution:
Stay of adjudication to the leaving the scene count and the careless driving is dismissed. This was essentially a DWI, but he was not stopped at the time and not investigated into until the next morning – meaning they had no way of proving impairment. Still, it was a serious matter. Despite that, Mr. Gempeler worked hard on the prosecutor to achieve an outcome that results in a non-conviction – a truly remarkable outcome considering the severity of the incident.
