Texas v. E.P.

Client was on Felony DWI bond and as a condition was not allowed to be driving. He was pulled over driving and given a speeding ticket. The police officer failed to realize that client was not supposed to be driving. So 7 years in prison for a bond revocation was on the line for a speeding ticket. Hedwig Village too. State couldn’t prove that he was speeding beyond a reasonable doubt because police officer didn’t know anything about radar, when it was calibrated, or even how accurate it was. Jury had no idea how far reaching their verdict was.
