Legal Question in DUI Law in Florida

I was convicted of a DUI but the police never saw me in my truck. They found me 3 blocks away,walking toward the nearest phone to call 911. I asked some one at a party to drive because it appeared that they were sober. Once he wrecked my truck he must have bailed and I was left with the wreckage until I came to and crawled out of the truck on the driver's side. I was drunk from the drinks and dazed from the accident. I don't remember the police doing anything. the only thing I remember is being booked into jail.

Do you mean convicted or arrested? There is a very big difference. If you were convicted then you really don't have any options other than possibly appeal. Now if you've only been arrested then you should definitely fight this. You have a valid defense and it may be difficult for the state to PROVE you were driving. You need to hire an attorney that handles a lot of DUIs because they can argue this complex area of law to the judge. Good luck.
