Best DUI Lawyer in Macon Georgia – GA Criminal Attorney
Many people unconsciously assume that, if a person is arrested, “they must have done something wrong.” This assumption is especially widespread when it comes to DUI. Though it is understandable why someone might feel this way, this is not the way the law works. It is not the way the law should work. Being accused of a DUI is not a conviction. No matter what your situation is, if you have been accused of driving under the influence, you have every right to the fairness, justice and protection that the American legal system guarantees.
Here are some defenses to a DUI charge:
• Blood-alcohol concentration – There exists a wide range of potential problems with blood, breath or urine testing. “Nonspecific” analysis, for example: most breath machines will register many chemical compounds found on the human breath as alcohol. And breath machines assume a 2100-to-1 ratio in converting alcohol in the breath into alcohol in the blood; in fact, this ratio varies widely from person to person (and within a person from one moment to another). Radio frequency interference can result in inaccurate readings. These and other defects in analysis can be brought out in cross-examination of the state’s expert witness, and/or the defense can hire its own forensic chemist.
• Testing during the absorptive phase – The blood, breath or urine test will be unreliable if done while you are still actively absorbing alcohol (it takes 45 minutes to three hours to complete absorption; this can be delayed if food is present in the stomach). Thus, drinking “one for the road” can cause inaccurate test results.
• Retrograde extrapolation – This refers to the requirement that the BAC be “related back” in time from the test to the driving.
• Regulation of blood-alcohol testing – The prosecution must prove that the blood, breath or urine test complied with state requirements as to calibration, maintenance, etc.
• License suspension hearings – A number of issues can be raised in the context of an administrative hearing before the state’s department of motor vehicles.
