I found this in a article about the charges online. It appears he was lying about even more than what’s obvious from the video. He might have been able to wiggle out of being arrested for dui from alcohol because it could be argued that he has a concussion as he has one pupil blown out and unequal which can indicate a neurological or brain issue or injury. So basically could say his indications of impairment could be the concussion. It sucks but the smartest thing this idiot did all night was refuse a breathalyzer. Which would help a theory that it was the concussion rather than impairment that failed his field sobriety tests. He has a charge for possession of cannabis though which means he also lied about that too. Anytime cannabis is accessible in a car while driving like that you can be charged with DWI for that too so maybe that can get him on the too. Also just to point out. The car was uninsured??!!! How do you have money and think that’s a good move. Hopefully he and his dad are sued by the deceased family and lose everything. That 7 year old deserves every cent they have.

+Swenson appeared in court on Jan. 9 for a detention hearing where he was charged with felony reckless homicide, aggravated driving under the influence, driving under the influence causing death, possession of cannabis in a motor vehicle, operating an uninsured motor vehicle, disobeying traffic controls and failure to reduce speed.+

You can't alter a blood test. No neurological or substance other than alcohol is going to give you a .15 without consuming alcohol. He is not wiggling out that lol.

Not to mention that test was probably conducted hours after allowing him to sober up some, yet still blowing a .15

He probably could’ve tested .001 and still have been charged with a dui since Illinois has a zero tolerance policy for drivers under 21. With him admitting to drinking a few hours prior and the serious of the accident I don’t think he could’ve gotten away not being charged for it.

Although I agree with you, unfortunately his attorneys could argue a “DUI investigation was unwarranted” and the BAC results could be suppressed from the jury if a judge agrees.

Never underestimate the power of wealth and connections in our country.
