I know my role is the criminal defense advocate, but his father called me the morning after it happened and I grilled the kid hard. I felt like he was telling me the truth that he'd had 3-4 beers about 3 hours earlier, had come home, was studying, left apt to get something to eat after midnite and got pulled over a few blocks from his apt. He's working his way thru school and wants to go to the state police academy, then law school and work in forensics for the FBI. He was devastated that he'd ruined his chances for that career dream. That probably helped with my discussions with the LEO.
I even cut my fee in half for him
