A Massachusetts OUI charge with failed breathalyzer test results is a case that can be won at trial. A recent Florida case provides a good example of what is referred to as the disconnect defense in drunk driving cases.
In the Sarasota case, the Government presented evidence of a breathalyzer test result of .10 that was allowed to be entered into evidence. The DUI lawyers in the case of Felicia Bridwell attacked the reliability of the test results by demonstrating problems with the breathalyzer machine and by showing a video that did not depicted a woman under the influence of alcohol.
In Massachusetts, when video tape evidence or a motorist's performance on field sobriety tests are inconsistent with breathalyzer test results, A Massachusetts drunk driving lawyer can argument to the jury to trust their own judgment over that of an unreliable machine. This defense is referred to as the disconnect defense because there is a gap between the observations and evidence that the jury can see and the results of the machine. At most OUI trials with breathalyzer test results, the jury learns little about the machine other than the results of the test and is essentially being asked to trust the machine.
