According to State v Davis, the Hawaii Supreme Court ruled that people accused of a DUI have the same constitutional and evidentiary protections as other crimes. This is a great stride forward in the justice system properly assessing DUI convictions. Before this ruling, even the best defense attorney would have a very low chance of winning a case against a Honolulu prosecutor who argued the breathalyzer was working properly. However, with this new update, supervisors can now be cross-examined, resulting in a fair trial that allows questioning the accuracy of the state’s breathalyzer machines.
Here are a few things to consider in order to craft a strong defense against an inaccurate breathalyzer:
- Improperly trained operator
- Body temperature
- Broken machine
- Improperly calibrated machine
