"The Army removed 588 soldiers from sensitive jobs such as sexual assault counselors and recruiters after finding they had committed infractions such as sexual assault, child abuse and drunken driving, officials said Wednesday."

"he move resulted from orders by Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel last year that all the services review the qualifications of people holding those jobs as part of an effort to stem a rising number of sexual assaults in the military.

The Army said it reviewed the qualifications and records of 20,000 soldiers and found 588 unsuitable for their jobs as recruiters, drill sergeants, training school instructors and staff of sexual assault prevention and response programs. The Army said in a statement that 79 soldiers are leaving the service and "others could face further actions from their commands." The statement did not say whether the 79 are leaving voluntarily."

If you are charged with DWI, be aware that a conviction if you are in the armed services can have a negative impact on your career. If you intend on joining the military, it could prevent you from entering. Some branches are tougher than others. It is best to not be found guilty of DWI in the first place.

"Texas resident Larry Davis ran either a red light or stop sign (reports vary) in his Buick in the city of Austin. Despite his insistence that he had had only one drink, he was put in handcuffs and arrested for driving while intoxicated. Then, when he was given a Breathalyzer test by the AustinPolice Department, he blew a 0.00"

"Mr. Davis agreed to give a blood sample as well, to prove he was not under the influence of any drugs or alcohol. The results would later come back 100% negative."

"The Austin Police Department stands by the arrest, saying they believed Davis showed signs of impairment, that while standing on one leg, he “swayed,” and “needed his arms for balance.”"

Based upon police standards, he would have failed the one leg stand test. It is fortunate that he gave a breath test and a blood test to prove his innocence. In New Hampshire, if you refuse either test it will be used against you in Court as a sign of guilt. A combination of refusal and failing a field sobriety test can be enough for a judge to find you guilty of DWI. It is unfortunate that innocent people are arrested and convicted of DWI. Hire the right DWI lawyer to get the best chance of being found not guilty.

For years I have accepted credit cards and even bartered services for things such as firearms. In order to let more clients pay with a system they are comfortable with, I now accept Bitcoin as payment. For those not familiar with bitcoin, the best way I can describe it that it is a virtual currency. People like it for various reasons including those related to inflation, convenience, low merchant fees, and anonymity. I am not sure if bitcoin has any sort of installment/recurring payments, but as of now, Attorney Hynes accepts bitcoin for payment.

DUI Defenses In New Hampshire

When a motorist is charged with a DWI offense in New Hampshire, they are presented with several options for dealing with the charges. The first option is to plead guilty. If an individual charged with a DWI chooses to plead guilty, it is left to the discretion of the judge to determine the specific penalties that should be meted out to the defendant. The results are often harsh. There is nothing to prevent a judge from handing down the maximum.

The second option is to plead not guilty. When a defendant opts to plead not guilty, their case goes to trial. However, this does not necessarily mean that a defendant will see the inside of a courtroom. When the initial plea of not guilty is entered, the defendant has, at any time, the right to change their mind. Most NH DWI lawyers initially advise their clients to plead not guilty in order to gain more time to review the facts of the case and the evidence.

Multiple UNH Students Arrested For DWI Following “Snow Day” Parties

Partying took place in multiple locations across the campus of the University of New Hampshire on Tuesday, February 5^th, in anticipation of a predicted snow day for Wednesday. According to Durham police, this led to a total of 7 alcohol related arrests. Although the UNH campus is usually relatively quiet, Durham police believe that the early announcement that classes were to be cancelled for the following day gave some students cause to celebrate.

Deputy Chief Rene Kelley stated: “Because the university announced very early that there were no classes (Wednesday), it seems a number of young people took the opportunity to create disturbances.”
