Lawyer Case History

State v. Lancaster

Multiple cases were consolidated for a hearing on the admissibility of results from the Intoxilyzer 8000 breath-testing instrument.  After five days of expert testimony, the judge ruled that the defense proved the machine was too unreliable for its results to be admitted as evidence.
