Jonas Bednarek’s client was charged with felony Operating While Intoxicated (OWI) 3rd offense, after being involved in an accident that resulted in serious injury to passengers in the other vehicle as well as to the client. Jonas filed motions to exclude evidence, including the blood test, arguing that the client did not consent voluntarily to blood draw, which was done while she was heavily sedated. The resulting settlement reduced the jail time from a possible prison sentence to 60 days on electronic monitoring.
