Yes I had drinks in Chicago,IL in the middle of my route.
Your lawyer knows you intend to commit perjury, and is going along with it? Or is it that your lawyer has told you that he's not going to put you on the stand if you intend to lie, and you're wondering the odds of prevailing if you don't testify?

I did FST, and blew a .14 in the PBT. Went to police station and refused breath test.
That makes it sound like you're a "pro" -- how many priors do you have?

...I had no slurred speech and no bloodshot eyes as per police report(confirmed via the video).
The odds that the video is clear enough to show whether or not your eyes are bloodshot? Roughly zero percent.

I also have a witness in Chicago who I actually only had 1 beer with and knew that after 1 beer I went straight towards Edwardsville,IL and he can testify that all I had was 1 beer.
And... that testimony is not relevant, as it tells the court nothing about what you drank before or after this person saw you consume one beer.

Lawyer also said if I take his professional opinion, he says by watching the video he knows im drunk....
So it's apparent from the video, for somebody who knows what to look for, that you're intoxicated. You can anticipate that the jury will be told what to look for.
[QUOTE=Mikael_]With all this info how much of a chance do I have in a 6 jury trial ?[quote]
We would be guessing. If you're being offered a better-than-usual plea bargain by the prosecutor, something you can discuss with your lawyer, that would suggest (but not establish) that the prosecutor is less certain in your case than in an average case about obtaining a conviction at trial.
