Scholarly Lectures / Writings
- On the surface, a driving under the influence offense (DUI) would seem to be one of the most routinely prosecuted crimes in the country. A hypothetical example goes as follows; the defendant is pulled over by an officer for a traffic violation, the officer notices a strong odor of an unknown alcoholic beverage emitting from the drivers breath, and the driver has slurred speech and bloodshot glassy eyes. At the scene, field sobriety tests are administered by the officer, and after determining the driver has failed the tests, the driver is taken to the local detention center and submits to a blood test. The results reveal a blood-alcohol-content (“BAC”), which falls slightly below the proscribed legal limit and marijuana metabolite in his system to boot. Although the BAC is not high enough for a per se violation of the local DUI statute the prosecutor charges the driver under a subsection of the DUI statute that prohibits one to drive while under the combined influence of substances and alcohol. With these facts one would tend to think that the prosecutor has one of life’s very rare slam-dunk cases., Author, Examining/Exploring Judicial Interpretations and Reactions to DUI Laws, 2007
