TV Legal Analyst Charged with DUI After Ex-Judge's Dinner Party Despite Claimed Head Injury
After initially losing a “Jane Doe” case she filed in an effort to keep her arrest record secret, a prominent Washington state lawyer has been charged with drunken driving in King County, reports the SeattlePI.com.
Anne Bremner, a 52-year-old Seattle lawyer who has served as a television legal analyst in a number of high-profile criminal cases, says she suffered a head injury after being struck by a hit-and-run driver. “She was mistakenly arrested for DUI based solely upon the symptoms of traumatic brain injury,” wrote psychiatrist Philip Lindsay in a statement filed in the arrest-record case.
But officials discount Bremner’s story that she was confused because of a head injury when she was stopped for driving on three flat tires, the newspaper recounts. She had previously spent the evening at a dinner party hosted by a former state supreme court justice.
A partner at Stafford Frey Cooper, Bremner often represents police officers in misconduct cases. She is appealing the judge’s order that her arrest record should be released.
