CHICAGO, IL, March 12, 2012 (Press-News.org) At the law offices of Michael T. Norris, Ltd. and John W. Callahan, Ltd., we know how to fight for the rights of the accused. After his arrest by the Hanover Park Police Department, our client was facing a difficult situation. The officers who stopped him claimed they could smell a strong odor of alcohol coming from his breath. They noted that his eyes were watery, glassy and bloodshot. Our client admitted to police that he had consumed alcohol at a local bar over the course of the evening. He later took a breath test which yielded a blood alcohol content of 0.17.
Upon reviewing the police reports, our experienced criminal defense attorneys became suspicious of the conduct of the officers. Based on the evidence, we filed a Motion to Quash our client's arrest. At the subsequent hearing on this pre-trial motion, we aggressively questioned the arresting officer. As a hostile witness, his answers were contrary and terse. Through succinct and skilled cross examination, we led the officer to make significant mistakes in his testimony, demonstrating the failings of the case against our client.
As a result of our arguments, the judge agreed that the arrest had been made without probable cause. The Motion to Quash was granted and all the evidence connected to that illegal arrest was rendered inadmissible. The prosecution was left with no evidence to continue the case against our client. All charges were dismissed. We are now working diligently to attempt to have this illegal arrest expunged from our client's records.
Our law firm prides itself on providing the aggressive and knowledgeable criminal defense our clients' deserve in cases involving DUI and other criminal matters.

Mount Sinai researchers identify promising new drug target for kidney disease
2012-03-12
Researchers from Mount Sinai School of Medicine have identified a regulator protein that plays a crucial role in kidney fibrosis, a condition that leads to kidney failure. Finding this regulator provides a new therapeutic target for the millions of Americans affected by kidney failure. The research is published in the March 11 issue of Nature Medicine.
Led by John Cijiang He, MD, PhD, Professor of Nephrology and Pharmacology and Systems Therapeutics; and Avi Ma'ayan, PhD, Assistant Professor of Pharmacology and Systems Therapeutics at Mount Sinai School of Medicine, the ...
Experts: Integrate global water, food and energy policies to divert future conflict
2012-03-12
MARSEILLES, FRANCE -- As food and energy production intensify around the world, their demands on dwindling water resources have prompted the search for an innovative and collaborative solution. On Friday, March 16, a High Level Panel convened by the EDF Group and the CGIAR Challenge Program on Water and Food (CPWF) will gather in Marseilles at the Sixth World Water Forum (WWF6) to share experiences and results.
The panel will discuss how to embrace a "nexus" approach to water management, in which projects that tap water resources are planned and executed with input from ...
Discovery could reduce chemo's side effects
2012-03-12
DURHAM, N.C. – A team of researchers at Duke University has determined the structure of a key molecule that can carry chemotherapy and anti-viral drugs into cells, which could help to create more effective drugs with fewer effects to healthy tissue.
"Knowing the structure and properties of the transporter molecule may be the key to changing the way that some chemotherapies, for example, could work in the body to prevent tumor growth," said senior author Seok-Yong Lee, Ph.D., assistant professor of biochemistry at Duke.
The article was published in Nature online on ...
World breakthrough on salt-tolerant wheat
2012-03-12
A team of Australian scientists has bred salt tolerance into a variety of durum wheat that shows improved grain yield by 25% on salty soils.
Using 'non-GM' crop breeding techniques, scientists from CSIRO Plant Industry have introduced a salt-tolerant gene into a commercial durum wheat, with spectacular results shown in field tests. Researchers at the University of Adelaide's Waite Research Institute have led the effort to understand how the gene delivers salinity tolerance to the plants.
The research is the first of its kind in the world to fully describe the improvement ...
Greenland ice sheet may melt completely with 1.6 degrees global warming
2012-03-12
The Greenland ice sheet is likely to be more vulnerable to global warming than previously thought. The temperature threshold for melting the ice sheet completely is in the range of 0.8 to 3.2 degrees Celsius global warming, with a best estimate of 1.6 degrees above pre-industrial levels, shows a new study by scientists from the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) and the Universidad Complutense de Madrid. Today, already 0.8 degrees global warming has been observed. Substantial melting of land ice could contribute to long-term sea-level rise of several meters ...
Tracing the UK's No. 1 sexually transmitted infection
2012-03-12
In a study released today in Nature Genetics, researchers have found that Chlamydia has evolved more actively than was previously thought. Using whole genome sequencing the researchers show that the exchange of DNA between different strains of Chlamydia to form new strains is much more common than expected.
The team highlights that current clinical testing methods do not capture the variation between Chlamydia strains. Changes to the genome structure are not the aim of current diagnostics for Chlamydia. The researchers are working with hospitals to use their results ...
Study: Hospitals Attempt to Bury Evidence of Medical Malpractice
2012-03-12
Hospitals in Arizona and across the country are burying their mistakes, according to a new study recently released by U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Inspector General Daniel R. Levinson. The study found that 15,000 Medicare patients die every month in part due to inadequate treatment in hospitals. The types of medical malpractice detailed in the study are gruesome and include surgical fires, objects left inside patients after surgery and surgeries performed on the wrong patients. If your loved one has died due to hospital negligence, you need to speak with ...
Protein discovery could switch off cardiovascular disease
2012-03-12
Researchers from Queen Mary, University of London and the University of Surrey have found a protein inside blood vessels with an ability to protect the body from substances which cause cardiovascular disease.
The findings, published online in the journal Cardiovascular Research, have revealed the protein protein pregnane X receptor (PXR) can switch on different protective pathways in the blood vessels.
Co-author Dr David Bishop-Bailey, based at Queen Mary's William Harvey Research Institute, said they found the protein was able to sense a wide variety of drugs, foreign ...
A new approach to treating type I diabetes? Gut cells transformed into insulin factories
2012-03-12
NEW YORK, NY -- A study by Columbia researchers suggests that cells in the patient's intestine could be coaxed into making insulin, circumventing the need for a stem cell transplant. Until now, stem cell transplants have been seen by many researchers as the ideal way to replace cells lost in type I diabetes and to free patients from insulin injections.
The research—conducted in mice—was published 11 March 2012 in the journal Nature Genetics.
Type I diabetes is an autoimmune disease that destroys insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. The pancreas cannot replace these ...
Childhood TBIs Can Cause Serious Developmental Delays
2012-03-12
Medical professionals have long thought that traumatic brain injuries do not affect young children as significantly as they do adults. Two new studies, however, suggest otherwise. Young children suffering from severe traumatic brain injuries (TBI) may actually suffer continued impairment later in life than experts first thought.
The studies yielded important new information on childhood traumatic brain injuries. Children who suffered severe traumatic brain injuries, for example, had slower intellectual functioning, showing that the traumatic brain injury may have affected ...
