New York Congressman Vito Fossella, whose DUI arrest in Virginia wreaked havoc on his political career when it led to revelations about his illegitimate child, has been sentenced to five days in jail.
Fossella’s blood alcohol content was measured twice - the first reading was .13 percent BAC and the second was .17 percent BAC. Jail is mandatory in Virginia DUI cases when the defendant has a BAC of .15 percent or greater.
Although Fossella’s attorneys weren’t successful in challenging his BAC, it’s often possible to successfully contest a chemical test result in a DUI / DWI case. A skilled drunk driving defense attorney will examine all of the evidence in a driving under the influence case to determine the appropriate challenges.
