Your Question:

Editor: Bob Battle
Profession: DUI Defense Lawyer

Category: DUI DUIrony

In honor of last night's Academy Awards, Bob Battle presents his "DUIrony Awards," those DUI cases you read about that would illicit a resounding "Doh!" from Homer Simpson. (Speaking of irony, isn't it ironic that Alanis Morissette's song "Ironic" shows that she does not know the difference between irony and "bummers?")

The winner is Madison, Wisconsin lawyer Rick Petri. Petri, who once prosecuted drunken drivers for the Madison attorney's office, was arrested by Madison police for DUI after he went to the station to pick up a client who had been arrested for DUI! Petri's client blew a .08 on the breath test while Petri blew a .09. To read more about this case, click here.
