Vancouver Criminal Lawyer: Brian E. Mickelson
Accused client charged with impaired driving and driving with a blood/alcohol concentration over 80 mgs.
CRIMINAL DEFENCE CASE FACTS:
Client observed driving erratically. Stopped by the police who note symptoms consistent with excessive alcohol consumption. Arrested and transported to the police station where Breathalyzer tests were made showing a blood/alcohol concentration of 160 and 150 mgs of alcohol in 100 ml of blood.
HELD: NOT GUILTY
No evidence that the client’s blood/alcohol was over 80 mg% at the time of driving. Evidence of the prosecution’s expert witness ruled insufficient to conclude the client was over “08″. Evidence that the client was ill at the time of driving accepted by the judge, who acquitted the client on both charges.
