- Hernandez, Jesse: Affordable Criminal Defense
- Pena, Antonio:
Have you been arrested for drunk driving? Is your right to operate a
motor vehicle going to be suspended? How will you get to work? How will
you keep your job? Or worse, have you been arrested for drug
possession? Are you on probation, or on parole? Will you have to go to
prison, or pay a fine? What are the penalties, and do you have a viable
defense?
These area fewof the important questions that people who have been
arrested ask themselves . If you have been arrested, or a family member
has been arrested, youneed a lawyer who has experience dealing with
the court system. Don't leave anything to chance, or in the hands of
someone who has not dealt with the criminal process before.
- Fabian Guerrero:
When a court has ruled that HGN is a scientific test requiring expert
testimony, there are two common standards that govern how a prosecutor
should lay foundation for HGN evidence. Depending on the state, the
prosecutor will be required to meet either the Frye standard for the
admissibility of scientific evidence, or the Daubert/Federal Rule of
Evidence 702 standard (or a combination of both standards). Under the
Frye standard, followed in approximately16 states, the prosecutor must
prove that the HGN test is "generally accepted" in the relevant
scientific community in order to lay the foundation for the admission
of HGN evidence. Under the Daubert/Federal Rule of Evidence 702
standard, also followed in approximately 16 states, an expert may give
opinion testimony on HGN evidence only if three conditions are
satisfied: 1. Testimony is based on sufficient facts or data; 2.
Testimony is the product of reliable principles and methods; and 3. The
witness has applied the principles and methods reliably to the facts of
the case. Other states have adopted their own standards for the
admissibility of scientific evidence such as HGN, and others have not
addressed the issue of admissibility at all.
