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.
