Maryland Court Fight Over Drunk Driving Double Jeopardy
A Montgomery County man tested with a 0.27 BAC, triggering a 30 day license suspension by an administrative judge. The state appeals to the Court of Appeals arguing the license action is separate from the criminal case, which was overturned by a Circuit Court judge on double jeopardy grounds. The Attorney General seeks to reverse that ruling to uphold prosecution and deter drunk driving.
