Case Name: People v. Faint (.pdf)
Court: Appellate Court of Illinois, Third District
Date Decision Filed: 12/18/09
In this case, the trial court found the defendant guilty of DUI, but failed to give the defendant an opportunity to present a defense or give a closing statement! Unsurprisingly, the appellate court reversed the trial court’s finding of guilty and remanded the case for a new trial. It seems that the “DUI exception” to the Constitution does have its limits.
