Seven times Mr. Austin was ready to go to trial. He never took an offer to drop the case if he did three months of unsupervised probation. Dan Ambrose showed that the police didn't do the slightest work to see if he was intoxicated. NOT GUILTY!

Mike is riding home with his two friends. They get stopped by the Holly police. Mike's friend is arrested for drunk driving. Mike's brand new uncased shotgun was in the back seat. The police took the gun but did not arrest Mike or give him a breathalyzer. The next day when Mike called to get his gun back the police officer told him that he was being charged with "Possession of a Firearm While Intoxicated." Mike was shocked since he was not drunk and they had no evidence of him being drunk.

We had to come to prepare for trial seven times. On the day of trial they offered Mike three months under advisement, with non-reporting (unsupervised) probation. Mike had enough of the delays and was not going to wait another three months to get out from underneath this false accusation.

It took two days to try the case. The Holly police exaggerated their "testimony" in an attempt to persuade the jury. The officer testified that Mike was "under the influence." When I asked her to define "under the influence", she could not. The other cop said that because Mike kept asking to go to the bathroom, it was a sign of intoxication. I always thought that was a sign that you had to pee really bad.

When it was all done after forty minutes of deliberation the jury found the defendant NOT GUILTY!
