Re: Blood Evidence

Blood alcohol levels may be used by the DA in a criminal charge (if applicable). As for the admissibility of the actual test results, there is no clear cut answer. The possibilities are numerous due to the variables that are invovled with the taking of the blood to the chemical testing. Therefore, you should consult a criminal defense attorney to assist you with this case. If my law firm can assist you with this legal matter or any other legal issue, please contact my legal assistant Jennifer ([email protected]).
