When I had jury duty in 2001, I was asked to determine guilt in a drunk driving case. Here are the facts: a guy was found drunk in the driver side of a car parked on a freeway shoulder. The cops came, saw that he was drunk, arrested him and towed the car.

Here are the defense's claims:
The guy claimed that he and his buddy were in the car and his buddy was driving. The car ran out of gas. He was worried someone might jack his car so he decided to wait in the driver's seat until his friend got back.

His friend testified to these matters. The cops testimonies only had to do with whether the guy was drunk, not whether there car was out of gas.

Result: Acquittal
