OUI Testimony and Trials

About

OUI is amongst the most heavily litigated crimes in Maine.  The mandatory license suspensions might be a cause of that litigiousness, but what does that mean for you?  That means that if you are going to court, there is a good chance that it is going to be on an OUI case.

The goal of this course is to better prepare you for that court day. This class is designed for impaired driving investigating officers and prosecutors. Course discussion topics include:

  • For Officers: Report Writing, Direct Testimony, and Cross-Examination
  • For Prosecutors: Witness Preparation, Common Evidence, Admissibility Issues, and An Officer’s perspective on OUI Testimony

This class includes the following testimony scenarios to work through:

  • Erratic Operation of an Impaired Driver
  • Personal Contact with an Impaired Driver
  • Field Sobriety Testing with an Impaired Driver
  • Toxicological Sample Collection
