Following an extensive trial, Judge Robbins of the Woodbridge Municipal Court found the defendant not guilty. If she had been convicted, she would have been sentenced to six months imprisonment and lost her license for ten years.

NJ Attorney Anthony N. Palumbo Obtains Downgraded Charges in Readington DWI Case

Anthony N. Palumbo, a criminal defense attorney at the law offices of Palumbo & Renaud, succeeded in having a client's third-offense drunk driving charges reduced to reckless driving after submitting an expert's report and raising questions regarding the breathalyzer machine. As a result, the Readington Municipal Court issued a fine and 30 day license suspension instead of a ten year suspension and six months in jail.

New Jersey drivers can be required to take a breathalyzer test if they are arrested for driving under the influence, but evidence of a driver's blood alcohol content is not always admissible at trial. Various circumstances can result in breathalyzer results being suppressed, such as mechanical errors, incorrect operation of the device, or improper documentation regarding the machine's functions. As in this case, if breathalyzer results are found to be unreliable, defendants may be able to have their charges reduced or dismissed.
