Exactly one week before Super Bowl 2004 a Sudbury woman fired from her job as a ?Bud Girl? after being convicted of drunk driving after last year?s Super Bowl party has lost her appeal to have the conviction overturned.
Justice Patricia Hennessy of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice has ruled presiding judge J.D. Bark did not make any errors in law at Lisa Mitchell?s
trial last August.
She also ruled the Sudbury police officer who arrested Mitchell did not contravene her charter rights during the arrest.
Mitchell and Sudbury lawyer Ted Conroy appealed the case arguing the arresting officer did not have reasonable and probable grounds to arrest Mitchell last Jan. 27.
Pending the appeal decision, Mitchell had received permission to drive to and from work and school. She will now lose her driver?s license for one year and will have to pay a $600 fine.
