Understanding DUI Scientific Evidence, 2011 ed: Leading Lawyers and Scientists on Recent Developments in Forensic Science, Understanding Chemical and ... Validity of Test Results (Inside the Minds)

Understanding DUI Scientific Evidence provides an authoritative, insider's perspective on the evolving scientific methods and standards used to determine charges for driving under the influence. Featuring leading DUI defense practitioners and scientists from across the country, this volume guides the reader through recent developments in evidentiary testing in DUI cases, and discusses contributing factors that may skew test results. From the possible presence of GERD to unique attributes like age, sex, body weight, and eyesight, these authors explain how the personal characteristics of an individual can aid or hinder a driver's performance during breath testing and standardized field sobriety tests. Emphasizing the ability of an attorney to help their clients select the best course of action, the authors discuss the most important considerations when developing a strategy based around scientific evidence, including cross-examining experts, interpreting chemical and field sobriety test results, and researching the latest DUI technologies. These authors also explore the technologies found in new breath testing devices, and offer their opinions on how they compare to machines of the past, as well as the accuracy of their test results. 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 technically-complex and constantly-developing area of law.
