Understanding DUI Scientific Evidence provides an authoritative, insider’s perspective on new scientific and technological developments in DUI criminal defense. Featuring leading DUI defense practitioners and experts from across the country, this volume offers the reader new information on emerging research related to breath, blood, and urine alcohol analysis, standard field sobriety testing, retrograde extrapolation, accident reconstruction science, and alcohol detection devices. With the National Academy of Sciences questioning the reliability of forensic science, these authors walk the reader through various validity issues with respect to current methods for obtaining and analyzing alcohol evidence and discuss the role this evidence plays in a DUI case. From reviewing pre-existing conditions that may affect gait and nystagmus to examining the functioning errors of Intoxilyers, SCRAM, and TAD machines, these leaders call current protocols into question and share advice on using these inconsistencies as a part of a legal strategy. The different niches represented and the breadth of perspectives presented enable readers to get inside some of the great legal minds of today, as these experienced lawyers offer up their thoughts around the keys to navigating this complex and constantly developing area of law.Inside the Minds provides readers with proven business intelligence from C-Level executives and lawyers (Chairman, CEO, CFO, CMO, Partner) from the world’s most respected companies and firms nationwide.
