The Ohio court&#8217;s decision will require states to comply with discovery requests by the defendant, and produce critical data and records relating to their breathalyzer devices. <\/p>\n<p>In the case of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.10tv.com\/content\/stories\/2014\/10\/01\/columbus-ohio-ohio-supreme-court-ruling-could-change-state-breathalyzer-test-laws.html\">Cincinnati v. Ilg<\/a>, the defendant was questioned and tested for intoxication after he lost control of his vehicle and struck a fence, sign, and pole. The officer who responded to the accident administered a breath test using the state&#8217;s device, the Intoxilyzer 8000. The device revealed that the defendant had a BAC reading that was almost twice the legal limit. The defendant was subsequently charged with an OUI.<\/p>\n<p>Before trial, the defendant&#8217;s attorneys requested that the prosecutor produce records of the defendant&#8217;s test, as well as test data, maintenance records, and results produced by the Intoxilyzer 8000 machine used to test the defendant. The purpose of this request was to compile enough evidence to demonstrate the inaccuracy of the defendant&#8217;s breath test on the night of the accident, and so to prevent his BAC results from being introduced in trial. The defendant requested records from his own test, as well as for tests conducted three years prior to his arrest, and three months following. <\/p>\n<div class=\"read_more_link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.delsignoredefense.com\/blog\/ohio-supreme-court-rules-in-fa\/\"  title=\"Continue Reading Ohio Supreme Court rules in favor of DUI defendant challenging breathalyzer\" class=\"more-link\">Continue Reading \u203a<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DUI defense attorneys in Ohio have recently won a substantial victory in the Ohio Supreme Court that will allow defendants to bring stronger challenges to the validity of breathalyzer tests.
