Baltimore Ravens Return Specialist BJ Sams Not Guilty of DUI with Field Test Expert Tony Corroto |

Baltimore Ravens Return Specialist BJ Sams was found not guilty of
DUI. According to news reports, the video did not capture
impairment during field evaluations and Sams was not offered a breath
test. The Judge was reported as commenting that there was a lack
of evidence in the case. Some of the
field sobriety evaluation results were disregarded by the judge after the
trooper’s testimony was challenged by Georgia DUI expert Tony
Corroto, who was paid a generous retainer plus expenses to appear on Sams' behalf.
Corroto’s testimony was considered as pivotal by the judge. The State must prove their cases beyond
a reasonable doubt and conclusory assertions of alcohol impairment and
drunk driving are not enough in the face of a lack of evidence.
You can't win a DUI case unless you take it to trial.
