Accused client charged in 100 Mile House with impaired driving and driving with a blood/alcohol concentration over 80 mg.

Vancouver Criminal Lawyer: Brian E. Mickelson
Accused client charged in 100 Mile House with impaired driving and driving with a blood/alcohol concentration over 80 mg.

CRIMINAL DEFENCE CASE FACTS:
Crown prosecutors tendered a certificate of qualified technician showing a blood/alcohol concentration well over 80mg in 100 ml, arguing that the certificate is conclusive proof that the client’s blood alcohol level exceeded the legal limit. Defence evidence called into question the reliability of the samples obtained by the RCMP.

HELD: NOT GUILTY
The evidence constitutes “evidence to the contrary” which raises a reasonable doubt as to whether the client’s blood alcohol level was over the legal limit at the time of driving.
