The kitchen is the heart of the home and you want it to be a room that is welcoming and cozy for family and guests. But kitchens tend to be busy places and can get messy and cluttered up pretty quickly with all of the appliances and gadgets, not to mention décor items, which can diminish the nice atmospheric state you’re going for. One good solution is to install a kitchen island. Not only are they convenient as a means of additional workspace, but many are equipped with their own cabinets and drawers to help you prevent that untidy appearance. by John Gibb

Accident reconstruction is an important, but often overlooked tool, of a DUI defense. Where there has been an accident, the responding police officers and detectives write a traffic collision report. This is often the only means the prosecutor will be able to piece together the events leading up to the crash and its aftermath. by Darren Kavinoky

Most states break their crimes into two major groups, felonies and misdemeanors. The difference between the two types of crime is the punishment involved. Where a crime can be punished with a year of more of imprisonment in state prison, it is a felony. But if the potential punishment is for a year or less in the county jail, then the crime is considered a misdemeanor. by Darren Kavinoky

The arraignment is the first court hearing in a felony case. An arraignment follows the constitutional principles of speedy trial rights and the ability to hear the charges being held against the defendant. Both in-custody and out-of-custody defendants must be arraigned without undue delay, no more than two calendar days after arrest, excluding Sundays and holidays. by Darren Kavinoky

The arraignment is the defendant’s first court hearing after the arrest, booking, and initial bail phases of the criminal process have taken place. This is usually the first opportunity for the defendant to hear the charges pending against him and provides the defendant the opportunity to plead to those charges. A prompt arraignment is related to the Constitutional safeguard of providing a “speedy trial.” The arraignment date will be dependant on several factors. The defendant's custodial status is the most important factor. by Darren Kavinoky

In California this term is used to identify crimes that are punishable either as a felony or as a misdemeanor. There are over a hundred cases that can be classified as either a felony or a misdemeanor. This distinction can be found in the Penal Code. These types of cases are referred to as “wobblers” due to the sentencing structure. In other words, wobbler crimes are those that could bring a sentence of state prison, county jail, or fines. by Darren Kavinoky

The DMV has the burden of proof in the Administrative Per Se (APS) hearing. The burden of proof is that there is more evidence weighted towards driving under the influence of alcohol than not. State law has mandated that the burden rests with the DMV to justify its order of suspension. by Darren Kavinoky

The Davenport case holds that the arresting officer’s written statement is sufficient to support the DMV’s suspension of the defendant’s driver’s license. The Davenport court held that the officer has a duty to administer chemical tests according to methods that are designed to assure reliability. Similarly, California Evidence Code Section 664 gives the presumption that the officer’s official duty has been “regularly performed,” thus giving rise to an inference of the reliability of the test. by Darren Kavinoky

When someone is charged with a DUI offense, there are two separate battles to fight: the DMV and the criminal court case.

The Downer case dealt with California Evidence Code section 1280, the official records hearsay exception. Hearsay involves any statement made outside of court, offered to prove the truth of the matter asserted. Forensic laboratory reports are hearsay, because they deal with events and statements that took place in a place outside of the courtroom, and are used to convict the defendant of a crime. by Darren Kavinoky

California Evidence Code Section 664 shifts the burden of proof to the DMV licensee to establish the nonexistence of one, or more, of the foundational requirements with regard to the police officer’s sworn statement, except when it is clear that the trustworthiness is not established when the officer incorrectly reports all the facts in the sworn statement. by Darren Kavinoky

The crime of evading a police officer is a misdemeanor. A misdemeanor is a crime punishable by a term in the county jail, up to one year. There are multiple reasons why evading a police officer is unlawful, including interfering with the duties of a police officer in the scope of their duties, and the danger to the public in fleeing from the officer, oftentimes involving high speeds and other traffic violations, like running red lights. However, in order to convict someone of evading, a number of criteria must be met. by Darren Kavinoky

The California Department of Motor Vehicles has the jurisdiction to administer an Administrative Per Se, commonly known as APS, hearing affecting the driving privileges of the DUI offender. The DMV case is totally separate and independent from the criminal case. Therefore, a DUI defendant must defend himself twice-at both the DMV and at criminal court. This also means that the DUI defendant gets punished twice. by Darren Kavinoky
