DUI Karma

Yes, it’s true. As a Washington DUI Lawyer, I’ve seen it happen in all sorts of cases. It’s what I call DUI Karma, and now it’s striking in Maryland.

My definition of DUI Karma is when something with your DUI case happens to make it that much WORSE. It’s the kind of thing you think of when you say “ugh. That is just my luck.”

Check out this guys luck.

From the Washington Post:

The tragedy of it all was immediately clear: A suspected drunk driver, at 3 in the afternoon, swings his Chevy Tahoe into oncoming traffic.

“He’s going to hit us!” Ellen Collier, 81, told her husband, Edwin, 85, who was driving their 2001 Honda Accord.

The strange coincidence took longer to sort out: The Honda’s driver, retired Montgomery County District judge Edwin Collier, had presided over thousands of drunken-driving cases, including one in 1998 involving the Tahoe’s driver. Collier had spared him jail time, even though the man had been arrested on drinking-and-driving charges twice in three months.

“It’s just a total irony,” John Kudel, an attorney for the Colliers, said Friday. “This shouldn’t happen to anyone. It certainly shouldn’t have happened to them.”

In the latest case, the man driving the Tahoe — Rene E. Fernandez, 45 — is due in court Wednesday to face trial on eight charges related to the August crash, including causing life-threatening injuries while intoxicated.

I mean – how much worse does it get than hitting your old DUI judge with your new DUI?
