Mistakes by Breath Test Operator — DWI Charge Reduced to Reckless Driving

Victory in Franklin District Court. The Sanbornton Police charged Client with DWI, and sought to introduce evidence of a breath test significantly over the legal limit. First, Client won his ALS hearing and avoided a 6 month administrative suspension. Then, on the 2nd day of the DWI trial, Attorney Lothstein’s cross-examination of the breath test operator exposed mistakes that left the admissibility of the breath test result in doubt. At that juncture, the prosecution agreed to settle the case by dismissing the DWI charge and allowing Client to plead to reckless driving, a motor vehicle infraction. Another hard-fought victory!
