Re: How much time am i allowed to prepare my defense?
No. In order to establish a defense, one must have the records from the Div. of Forensic Science in Richmond, VA. These records take approximately 30 days to process. You must know whether your BAC was rendered on a properly calibrated machine. Additionally, you must learn whether the technician administering the tests was certified. Not getting this information, in my view, is tantamount to giving the government a green light for a successful conviction.
