The DUI arrest was botched by the police from the start, I wasn't even driving when they arrested me. I was in the car with the driver and my girlfriend when we stopped at a store. When i came out of the store the driver had fled. My girlfriend at the time was intoxicated and a violent person anyway, and of course we were fighting . I was the only one to go in the store and when i came out the police had arrived. I avoided the court and was eventually picked up because the same girl accused me of DV and that felony charge was totally dismissed. The DUI went like this: I was never shown the evidence and the words of the judge at pretrial were" if you take this to trial you WILL loose and i WILL send you to prison." Terrified i plead guilty. This judge was disbarred shortly after.
In a lawsuit started by you, the burden shifts to you to prove that you were wronged. Convincing a new judge that the...
I was arrested for an OVI in September. I fell asleep behind the wheel and blew a .13. I was arrested for a second OVI on Defember 1. This time my wife began throwing up and drove down a side street. We were stopped at a train crossing and I told her switch places with me and I would just pull over to a gravel parking lot to avoid her having to throw up out of the window again. While waiting for the train to cross I fell asleep and a cop tapped on the window and I was arrested. I refused the breath test and pleaded not guilty per my attorneys advice. My first case is still pending and now I have this second. I have been ordered to wear the scram bracelet and counseling. Is there a chance the first be plea bargained to physical control and the 2nd to reckless operation or wet reckless?
Fighting two OVI's at the same time complicates matters. The court and the prosecution are both going to be biased...

Yes, this can be a problem. Meet in private with an attorney.
A domestic violence charge, reduced to assault is the charge to be sealed, from 3 yrs ago. The OVI is on the record, and found guilty.
I am sorry to report that you can only have one conviction expunged and the DUI will never be expungeable under Ohio...
I was pulled over because of a warrant I had out. I had just left a bar, but didn't think I was "drunk" so refused to blow (I have 2 prior OVIs) but was given a field sobriety test which I'm pretty sure I did well on. I was taken to the police station and told I needed to give a blood sample, but there were not enough officers to take me to do that so I never had to provide one. What do you think my chances of getting out of the OVI charge are since there was no breathalyzer or blood test taken?
The fact that you "refused" the breath test and they couldn't get their act together to get a blood test doesn't...
was pulled over for speeding
You need to hire an attorney who can properly bring this issue before a court. I'm assuming that the officer will say...
I got charged with OVI. I have been studying how to defend myself (I do plan on hiring an attorney asap). I read that there is a possibility of interference from radios and cell phones. I checked my T-Mobile phone log because I knew I was sending/receiving text messages right before being administered the breath test. I was given the test at 3:01am. I received texts at: 2:36am, 2:57am, 3:00am. I sent texts at: 2:36am, 2:48am, 2:58am. I don't think the officer knew immediately that I was texting because he did tell me the last time to put it away. He was doing paperwork and setting up the machine, which I think is violating the 20-minuet observation period (I don't think there was a full 15-20 minuets I was observed without interruption/him being distracted with other things.)
There is a possible issue with RFI (radio frequency interference) from 3G/4G devices as well as bloothtooth. This is a...
