State v. Peyton: Case File, Trial Materials, Third Edition

Building contractor Taylor Addison suffered severe first- and second-degree burns when someone sideswiped her parked car. The impact spilled scalding coffee over her left hand, leaving her slightly scarred. In this hit-and-run, DUI case, Addison testifies that she saw a car identifiable as Jordan Peyton’s driving away from the scene. Peyton has pled not guilty to all charges and claims that she did not collide with Addison’s car. Is the damage on Peyton’s car proof of a collision with Addison’s, or merely coincidence? How do the field sobriety tests and BAC evidence influence the determination on whether Peyton hit Addison’s car? Was Peyton’s arrest and breathalyzer test mishandled? Advocates will enjoy working either side of this well-balanced case.
