San Diego DUI charge with priors plus conviction for second-degree murder, gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated and hit-and-run death
One San Diego man who had accumulated several convictions for DUI was sentenced to 20 years to life in prison after his latest arrest, arising out of the death of a pedestrian in Pacific Beach, California, with whom the driver collided earlier this year.
"It was an accident, it wasn't murder - I promise you," the man said to the victim's family and friends in court. "I didn't even see her."
In addition to the San Diego DUI charge, Alan Lester Mabrey was convicted of second-degree murder, gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated and hit-and-run causing death, after he allegedly collided with 24-year-old Emily Cathleen Dowdy. The woman, who worked as a shift supervisor at Starbucks, was hit as she crossed the street on February 7, 2009.

San Diego County Sheriff's Department will have a special priority in its anti-DUI strategies: impaired driving among teenagers
San Diego's regionwide seasonal crackdown on tipsy, drunken and drugged driving begins tonight! San Diego County Sheriff's Department will have a special priority in its anti-Drunk Driving strategies: impaired driving among young folks.
From Friday through Jan. 3, law enforcement agencies across the San Diego area and throughout California plan to run frequent sobriety checkpoints to keep the streets as safe as possible amid end-of-year festivities, according to the state Office of Traffic Safety.
"DUI checkpoints are time-tested and proven as the most effective DUI countermeasure, and I'm gratified that we're seeing the life-saving results," said OTS Director Christopher Murphy.
The stepped-up San Diego DUI enforcement, which will include extra patrols to nab inebriated motorists, is funded by state grants to individual law enforcement agencies.

Dead DUI cop means unreliable hearsay from another cop in Judge's drunk driving trial
A DUI criminal defense attorney for a Lake County judge facing trial for drunken driving and resisting arrest challenges the blood-alcohol test and hospital procedures. The night that Chief Judge David Hall was pulled over by Vernon Hills police, his blood-alcohol level was .107.
Zeit claims that an unknown law enforcement officer violated Hall's rights under the federal HIPPA privacy law by instructing hospital staff on how to process the blood sample.
Hall, charged with driving while intoxicated and resisting arrest on April 26, 2008 in Vernon Hills, was in court to pursue records from Advocate Condell Medical Center in Libertyville for his defense.
Hall's trial had been scheduled for today, but Zeit requested a continuance because he said that an expert witness, an emergency room physician, could not attend.
Brown is overseeing the trial and the Illinois attorney general's office is handling the prosecution because of Hall's close ties to the Lake County state's attorney's office and judges.
In August 2008, Hall testified during a hearing in Kane County court that he had been drinking alcohol on April 26, but said he didn't do anything to prompt a Vernon Hills officer to stop him about 1:45 a.m. on Illinois Highway 60.
Officer Jesse Goldsmith, who stopped Hall, died of a heart attack in June 2008. Goldsmith completed much of the paperwork and likely would have been the key prosecution witness at trial. But anything he would have testified to, including anything in his reports, could now be inadmissible.
Another police officer, Mark Sosnoski, who backed up Goldsmith from a different vehicle, is expected to testify during the upcoming trial. Sounds like hearsay.

Checkpoint warning: San Diego DUI criminal defense lawyers reach out to help the public
San Diego DUI criminal defense lawyers reach out to help the public. In northern San Diego County tonight, Solana Beach will use DUI deputies from the Encinitas Sheriff's Station on Friday between 7:30 p.m. and 3 a.m. on San Diego drunk driving saturation patrols and DUI checkpoints. The San Diego DUI checkpoint will be conducted near the 500 block of Lomas Santa Fe Drive.
The San Diego Sheriff's Department is placing 30-day holds on vehicles driven by drivers who are unlicensed or have a suspended license, whether DUI-related or not. This can be a costly experience with storage costs up to $1,500. San Diego drivers with a suspended license or who are arrested for driving under the influence can incur legal costs amounting to several thousand dollars as well as paying for their stored vehicle.
San Diego motorists who elect to excessively drink alcoholic beverages during this period should designate a sober driver. Otherwise, you may need a San Diego DUI criminal defense attorney.

When a cop gets arrested, it reflects negatively on the profession to some extent. Police should not receive any preferential treatment and matters
When a cop gets arrested, it reflects negatively on the profession to some extent. Police should not receive any preferential treatment and matters involving anyone suspected of breaking the law will be handled fairly, according to San Diego DUI criminal defense lawyers.
Calexico's policeman faces a misdemeanor charge of a California DUI after pulling into the police station in the company of his wife and 11-year-son with a blood-alcohol level of .23, Calexico Police Chief Jim Neujahr says.
.
Officer Ronald Cuen, a 17-year member of the Calexico Police Department who already had been placed on paid administrative leave four weeks ago, was cited and released Dec. 1 for the DUI offense as his wife was available to drive him home safely.
Imperial County Assistant District Attorney Joe Beard said that as a courtesy he’ll inform Neujahr that charges will be filed against Cuen.
Cuen had a prior DUI-related arrest 14 years ago in Imperial County but that he did not know what measures, if any, were taken to deal with Cuen, Neujahr said. Calexico Police Department is the only law enforcement agency for which Cuen has worked.
Questions about the arrest were referred to Neujahr who said Cuen pulled into the parking lot of the Calexico police station to use the restroom. Neujahr said he did not know why Cuen’s wife did not drive the vehicle they traveled in.
It was not known where Cuen was coming from when he arrived at the police station, but he was not involved in any DUI-related traffic accidents at the time of the latest arrest.
Citing personnel issues, Neujahr declined to say why Cuen had been placed on administrative leave but said he’ll remain on it pending the outcome of his current case.
Asked why Cuen was not booked into county jail, Neujahr said all police departments generally release people suspected of misdemeanor DUI driving if there is someone available to drive them home safely. Torrez confirmed the policy is standard practice.
A report of the Dec. 1 incident has been sent to the Imperial County District Attorney’s Office for review and Cuen is expected to appear in court for this matter, Neujahr said.
Cuen’s arrest is the latest in a series of situations, or incidents, involving members of the Calexico Police Department.
In October, a five-year Calexico police officer and his wife were arrested on suspicion of allegedly beating up the officer’s former girlfriend. The officer, Juan Garcia, has been placed on paid administrative leave pending the outcome of his case.
Also in October, an officer and a sergeant angrily claimed during a City Council meeting that Neujahr and other high-ranking Calexico police officers were “out of control” and failed to do their part in reducing crime.
Calexico police Sgt. Shaun Sundahl, who was on temporary disability for a knee injury he received while on duty, was one of the two officers who spoke out. He was fired last month, a dismissal for which Neujahr and city officials declined to discuss the specifics.
While he said it was not up to him to comment on another police department, Imperial Police Chief Miguel Colon, who chairs the Imperial Valley Police Chiefs Association, said law enforcement’s reputation suffers anytime an officer does something wrong.

DUI enforcement on SR-67 San Diego County approaches a new level
CHP kicked off “Arrive Alive” SR-67 DUI (Driving Under the Influence) Safety Task Force on March 31 with a grant from the Office of Traffic Safety and working in conjunction with the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans).
Since it's a DUI highway safety corridor, there's 2 goals. One was to sustain a zero for fatal crashes that happen because of a drunk driver. The other was to reduce the number of injury collisions caused by a drunk driver by 5 percent.
That measurement was taken against the 2007 accidents. So far they have met their goals. CHP has conducted three DUI checkpoints on 67, with the first one on June 6, another on Aug. 7, and one on Sept. 4. A fourth CHP kicked off “Arrive Alive” SR-67 DUI (Driving Under the Influence) Safety Task Force on March 31 with a grant from the Office of Traffic Safety and working in conjunction with the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans).

The CHP has conducted three DUI checkpoints on 67, with the first one on June 6, another on Aug. 7, and one on Sept. 4. A fourth DUI checkpoint will be held this month. During the June 6 checkpoint, at northbound 67, south of Poway Road, 807 vehicles were screened and two DUI arrests were made.
On Aug. 7, at the same location, 719 vehicles were screened and one DUI arrest was made. Of the 400 vehicles stopped Sept. 4 at Main Street in Ramona, five DUI arrests were made.

Friends Don't Let Friends Drive Drunk - if they do and the friend gets a San Diego DUI, can they face charges, too?
San Diego DUI criminal defense attorneys usually ask a person arrested for drunk driving if there was a passenger (witness). Here's a new twist to twit.
Remember when the U.S. Department of Transportation and the Ad Council launched a public safety campaign in 1990? "Friends Don't Let Friends Drive Drunk."
Passenger Zitt and a DUI friend, now face trial in DuPage County Circuit Court in Wheaton. Kubicz is charged with driving under the influence of alcohol in Naperville, while Zitt is accused of knowingly permitting a person under the influence of alcohol to drive a vehicle.
A Naperville police officer arrested the men about 2:16 a.m. Nov. 29 as they rode in Zitt's Cadillac Escalade, police Cmdr. The DUI officer noticed the sport utility vehicle traveling north on Washington Street near North Avenue, north of the city's downtown area. The driver allegedly committed "several traffic violations," prompting the officer to follow the SUV and curb it near Ogden Avenue.
Kubicz, 30, of Lisle, was found at the wheel. Zitt, 29, of Aurora, was in the front passenger seat. The officer administered DUI sobriety tests to Kubicz and concluded he was drunk. Zitt, the owner of the SUV, allegedly "stated he (Zitt) had had too much to drink to drive," leading to his being charged with allowing an intoxicated person to drive his vehicle.
Court records indicated Zitt was arrested in October 2005 by Naperville police on charges of DUI and possession of marijuana. A judge in April 2006 convicted him of both charges, fining him and granting him court supervision, court records purport.
