True but that is going to be really difficult unless they have witnesses. They will need witnesses that could testify as to signs of him being under the influence of alcohol at the time of the accident.

Maybe thats what Im thinking. For some reason, I was under the impression that an attorney cant deny service unless there is some sort of conflict on interest.
??? He was not free to leave the scene until law enforcement authorities said he could. EMS workers at the scene are not authorized to tell him he could leave, and I'm sure did not.
That's why they issued a warrant for his arrest.
Small detail: he lied to the Buchanan County Dispatch and said "can I call you right back?" and then a few seconds later took off. Notice he didn't ask them "am I free to leave now?"
OR why did he not come out and answer the police questions when they finally tracked him down. Even if the accident was 100% not his fault, I'm sure the police had questions about a fatal accident.
I find most golf discussions to make for a good reason to stick to fishing as my hobby. Less expensive (that I know of), less people, and I'm in the water because I want to be.
I'm not sure I follow. Doesn't the statute quoted above define the extent of his obligation to stick around? Beyond that, he doesn't need permission from what I can tell.
Well, it's certainly a crime if you leave the scene without providing your name, address, registration, and driver's license info. He provided his name to dispatch, that's all. That's what law enforcement would have collected once they got there, and why he was later arrested.
I thought individual public defenders could as long as someone in the office picked the client up. Because a group of defense attorneys came to talk to my class and one of them was a pd and mentioned swapping clients with another public defender because they couldn't work with them.
If he has been drinking earlier his attempt to avoid the test proved successful.

He might beat the charges, but it doesn't mean he still didn't screw up and kill somebody while driving under the influence. Smart of him to lawyer up though.
Looks like the trial date has been set. 1/18/18

I find this whole case to be very interesting. First, I would tend to agree the law is vague as to your responsibilities. Second, I think their initial argument of the statute being in violation of one's right against self incrimination is interesting as well. If nothing else, I think it would be an argument you could successfully appeal.
