CASE NUMBER 2009 CT 003748 (Manatee County)
On December 8th, 2009 the Defendant was found not guilty of DUI. The Defendant was parked outside of his apartment complex listening to music with the keys in the ignition of his vehicle. The Bradenton Police Department received a call for a noise complaint and responded. They claimed the Defendant was passed out behind the wheel of a running car. The evidence showed differently. The Defendant was arrested and refused all testing claiming his innocence that he was not driving. After a day-long jury trial the residents of Manatee County showed their courage and agreed with Darren Finebloom and AnneMarie Rizzo in finding the Defendant not guilty of DUI charges in less than 15 minutes.
