Judge Gives Teen a Big Break
Posted on Sep 10, 2009
Our client was a 17-year old high school football player who was charged with speeding 20 mph over the speed limit while returning a friend's car to his father's apartment after rescuing another friend who had had too much to drink at a teen beer bang. When the client noticed an approaching police car do a u-turn and begin to follow him, he panicked because he did not have his driver's license and sped up, hitting speeds on a deserted roadway that the officer testified nearly reached 100 mph.
The client safely stopped the car after putting some distance between himself and the police pursuit, and fled the scene on foot. However, after telling his step-father what happened the next morning he decided to turn himself into police.
Though the judge was very upset and shocked at what had transpired, he was persuaded that the incident was "out of character" for the boy, and gave him a second chance. The client will have to do over a 100 hours of community service and attend driving school within the next 12 months, and if he successfully completes that, the charge will be reduced.
