Re: Legal Question
What's the question?!
IF the question os can you be convicted of DUI with a .10 BAL, - YES. If the question is can you have a .10 BAL on 1 beer... not unless you weight like 30 lbs. Assuming the BAL reading is correct and your defendant is not 30#, that means they are lying about drinking 1 beer. I'm sure this is the first time in history that someone drunk off their ass said they only had 1 beer - STOP THE PRESSES, BIG STORY, A CLIENT LIED!!!
