FAQs
The key difference between a breathalyzer and a roadside sobriety test is that a breathalyzer measures your blood alcohol content (BAC), while a roadside sobriety test evaluates your physical and mental abilities.
Roadside sobriety tests are conducted by law enforcement officers and typically involve tasks like the walk-and-turn test or the one-leg stand. These tests assess your balance, coordination, and ability to follow instructions. Evidence from these tests are not admissible in court.
A breathalyzer, on the other hand, provides a direct measurement of your BAC. However, the results from a roadside breathalyzer are generally not admissible in court. The official breathalyzer test is typically conducted at a police station or hospital.
The process of sealing your criminal record in Colorado can be complex and time-consuming, but it's possible under certain circumstances.
While the 2019 Increased Eligibility for Criminal Record Sealing bill made the process easier for some individuals, it's important to note that not all records can be sealed. Factors like the type of crime, the length of time since the offense, and any outstanding court obligations can determine eligibility.
A skilled criminal defense attorney can assess your situation and recommend a successful approach.
Mitigation is the process of presenting information to the court that may reduce your sentence. It involves highlighting positive aspects of your life, such as your character, achievements, and challenges you've overcome.
Mitigation can help humanize you to the jury and judge, showing them that you are more than just your alleged crime. It can also influence the sentencing decision, potentially leading to a lesser sentence or other favorable outcomes. By providing a complete picture of who you are, your attorney can help you avoid being defined solely by the worst moment of your life.
