The Real Housewives of Potomac‘with Karen Huger received a verdict in her DUI trial nine months after her car accident in Maryland.
Huger, 61, was found guilty of almost all charges except reckless driving, her representative said People on Wednesday, December 18. Sentencing is scheduled for Jan. 29.
“While we are disappointed with the jury’s verdict, of course we respect their decision and appreciate their time with our case,” said Huger’s attorney, A. Scott Boldenhe said People in a statement Wednesday. “We continue to reserve Ms. Huger’s right to appeal and intend to fully pursue justice on her behalf. We appreciate your support and prayers for Ms. Huger and her family at this time.”
He was huge a participant in a traffic accident in Potomac, Maryland, in March. Montgomery County police told TMZ at the time that Huger was driving her 2017 Maserati in an “aggressive manner” in Potomac, Maryland, when she hit an intersection crosswalk and parking sign.
She was not arrested, but received several citations from the police at the time. She was later charged with DUI and DWI.
After the accident, Huger issued a lengthy statement about her mental state leading up to the crash.
“Thank you all for your prayers and well wishes during this very scary experience. I’m still in shock from yesterday’s incident, but I’m thankful to be alive today. With the passing of my beloved mother, grief comes and goes in waves, and with Mother’s Day approaching, it felt more like a tsunami,” she told TMZ in March. “Last night I met my girlfriend for dinner and we talked and discussed some very emotionally sensitive topics. I was crying on the way home and saw a car coming straight at me. I swerved to avoid a head-on collision, hitting a divider and then a tree. I’m hurt, a little bruised, but so thankful to be alive! I received citations, one of which was unrelated to the incident, which is understandable, but what surprised me the most was that the car that almost hit me had just left!”
She concluded: “I would like to emphasize that it is important to understand your emotional state while driving and this can be a reminder to everyone to wear seat belts. My mother may be my guardian angel, but the seat belt saved my life.”
During A huge courtbody camera footage showed her saying she was “beaten with a hammer” and appeared to slur her words.
Several witnesses also testified during the trial, including an EMT who said Huger refused treatment at the scene of the accident and “wobbled” as she tried to get into an ambulance.
Huger was an original cast member The Real Housewives of Potomac since its premiere in 2016. The Bravo reality show is currently in its ninth season, which began in October and followed DUI.
