Appelman Argues Successfully that Breath Test is Inaccurate!

State vs. R.L.

DWI Offense

R.L. was a tenured Northwest Airline mechanic. He left work one day, had one beer and was stopped by the police and charged with a DWI. In the weeks preceding his arrest, R.L. had been working with many chemicals for hours each day. Mr. Appelman argued that these chemicals were absorbed by R.L.'s body and then were emitted into the breath test machine which caused an unusually high blood alcohol concentration result. The Court agreed and reinstated R.L.'s driver's license and the state ultimately dismissed the criminal charges against R.L.
