The reality star was charged with a DUI in Maryland on March 1 9, and this week, she was found guilty on nearly all charges. Huger’s attorney, A. Scott Bolden, spoke to PEOPLE about the decision, expressing their disappointment.
“Although we are disappointed in the jury’s verdict, we of course respect their decision and appreciate their time hearing our case,” he told the outlet. “We continue to reserve Mrs. Huger’s right to an appeal and intend to fully pursue justice on her behalf. We appreciate your support and prayers for Mrs. Huger and her family at this time.”
At the time of the car accident, the Real Housewives of Potomac star issued a statement to TMZ , saying she was driving “in an emotional state” after having dinner with a friend and discussing her late mother. She claims the conversation left her crying while trying to drive home, swerving to avoid another car coming directly at her. At the time, law enforcement told the outlet that Karen crossed a median and struck multiple street signs.
