Sid Blumenthal's lawyer, commenting on the "aggravated DWI" charge Blumenthal received after being observed at more than twice the legal speed limit, and having failed a field sobriety test...
“In reality, it’s a traffic violation,” Mello said, noting that the more serious “aggravated” DWI charge is due to the alleged speeding, not “degree of intoxication.”
Interesting defense: Speeding while drunk is only speeding. Being drunk (or "degree of intoxication", if you will) was another issue.
