Clinton Advisor Arrested for OUI in Nashua
I'm curious to see what the continuing media coverage of this incident will be. The Clinton campaign declined to comment and Blumenthal's New Hampshire attorney made a brief statement effectively refusing to talk details with press.
Blumenthal himself wisely refused a Breathalyzer test and acted like "a perfect gentleman", according to the arresting police officers.
I can't speak for New Hampshire, but in Massachusetts OUI cases where no Breathalyzer has been administered typically result in a Not Guilty for the defendant at trial, although very few even reach that stage. Defense attorneys have a variety of weapons at their disposal to combat OUI charges. It will be interesting to see if any of the details of Blumenthal's case go public.
