San Diego DUI - Breath test defenses thrown out
San Diego DUI attorney news
A panel of judges in Snohomish County has decided not to allow breath tests as evidence in nearly 40 DUI / DWI drunk driving cases.
The district court judges said yesterday the results can't be used because the manager of a state crime lab falsely certified solutions used in test machines.
At an earlier Skagit County hearing, judges in Mount Vernon also found problems with the crime lab operations but said the evidence could be used.
Another hearing is scheduled in King County in January on DUI / DWI / Drunk Driving defense lawyer challenges to DUI breath test results.
