Your attorney might use a number of strategies to help you obtain a favorable plea deal or a not guilty verdict. For example, your legal counsel may argue that you did not intend to commit a crime. If there is no intent to break the law, a jury must generally find a defendant not guilty. Your attorney may also claim that you were not read your Miranda rights prior to making a statement. Finally, it may be possible to claim that the results of a chemical test should not be admitted into evidence because they were not conducted or handled properly.
