• DEVORE WINS DUI SOURCE CODE CASES
Kevin DeVore has obtained 3 recent victories in DUI cases for his clients using the Source Code discovery defense.  In essence, the Source Code is the “owner’s manual” for the Intoxilyzer 5000 machine.  Mr. DeVore has requested full disclosure of this code to determine whether the test results were accurate in his clients’ cases.  This defense stems from a recent Supreme Court case titled Underdahl v. Commissioner of Public Safety, 735 N.W.2d 706 (Minn. 2007).  This issue is ongoing and is being hotly contested by prosecutors in courts throughout the State.


• FIRST DEGREE DRUG CHARGES DISMISSED
Kevin DeVore celebrated the dismissal of all charges with his client this week.  Kevin’s client was charged with the felony controlled substance violation and was facing a presumptive 86 months in prison for allegedly possessing with intent to sell methamphetimines, ecstasy and other illegal drugs.  The case was dismissed by the State at the contested omnibus hearing when the legality of the stop was challenged.  Information had been discovered that supported Mr. DeVore’s allegation that the stop and subsequent search of the vehicle violated the defendant’s Fourth Amendment right to be free from unreasonable search and seizure.  09-27-2007


• DWI CHARGE DISMISSED—VEHICLE RETURNED
Another one of Kevin DeVore’s clients benefited from the dismissal of DWI charges which authorized the release of his client’s vehicle.  The automobile had been seized for forfeiture by the State pursuant the Minnesota DWI law.  Kevin was able to negotiate a dismissal of the triggering offense and resolved the case favorably for his client—which including the return of the automobile. 


• NO JOB IS TOO BIG OR TOO SMALL!
Kevin DeVore was retained to fight a speeding ticket that would have resulted in a substantial increase to his client's auto insurance and possibly the loss of his client's driver's license.  At the trial, Kevin obtained a complete dismissal of the charges!


• FELONIES DISMISSED
Kevin DeVore was able to secure the dismissal of two felony fleeing police charges in two separate cases in the same week.  With car forfeitures, one year license revocations and felony jail time on the line, Kevin used his trial strategies to get the felony charges dropped.  This resulted in the release of the automobiles being held by the police which saved his clients thousands of dollars and avoided a one year of revocation of his clients’ drivers’ licenses.


• VEHICLE FORFEITURE CASE THROWN OUT… CAR RETURNED
Kevin DeVore obtained an Order from a Hennepin County Judge granting his motion for summary judgment in a DUI Vehicle Forfeiture case.  The Judge granted Mr. DeVore’s motion (brought on behalf of his client) and ordered the immediate return of the vehicle.  In addition, the Judge ordered that the filing fees be refunded and that the vehicle be returned free of any costs associated with the seizure or storage of the vehicle.  This Order followed the dismissal of the underlying DUI charges.
