Wrongful conviction

Submitted 2008-02-21

Defendant: numerous defendants

I was falsely accused of a hit-and-run accident on private property on December 8, 2006. There were no injuries, no witnesses, and both vehicles were road-worthy.
The accuser had his vehicle repaired before I ever went to court – thereby tampering with, or destroying evidence .
I was drinking my fourth high content alcoholic drink after arriving home. Police did not stop me in my vehicle, or witness me driving. I was not ever breathalyzed, and I was not drinking before driving that day.
Accuser could not positively identify me as the driver of my truck, did not know what time the accident happened, and mis-identified my truck’s colors.
Public Defender told me I was not going to have the case dismissed because it was my word against the Police report. He failed to present the fact that I WAS NOT DRIVING my vehicle AFTER drinking, and then he failed to advise me of my rights to appeal and the process involved.
Police Officer nor the accuser was present on the court date, which ended up as a no contest plea bargain. I believe I was wrongly advised by the public defender.
Convicted on two charges on August 3, 2007.
I'm free on bail but on probation.
First Offense, I've never been charged or arrested before this.
