What can a defense lawyer refute?

Depending on the evidence used by the prosecution, the defending lawyer could refute certain items. If a portable breathing machine is in use as proof, this could become inadmissible based on the state or the argument given by the defense lawyer. A breathalyzer device and even a blood test could provide inaccurate results based on certain conditions such as temperature problems, a lack of chain of custody and even contamination. Calibration and training could also cause problems with the evidence. The lawyer will need to investigate each item and test to determine if there is a valid argument to refute the results.

How does a DUI test work?

DUI cases often stem from testing results that determine the blood alcohol content in the person’s blood at the time he or she was driving. If this person has a certain medical condition, was not given the full twenty minutes of observation or burped or regurgitated during the detainment or testing, this could provide inaccurate readings with devices. Others may have intestinal problems that could retain alcohol in the system longer or that skew results because of trace amounts left in the lungs. This may not truly demonstrate an influence of alcohol on the driver.

What happens when a driver takes a breath test?
