District Court judges heard oral arguments on Tuesday on the admissibility of blood alcohol readings from the breathalyzer used by all law enforcement in the state.
"The state toxicologist and breath technicians have said for seven years the Drager machine needs to do the calculation in [accordance] with the administrative code, and then I found out that the machine does not do that calculation," said George Bianchi, a veteran attorney with 37 years of defending drivers suspected of DUI.
On Monday, WSP trooper Christopher Hooper took the witness stand to testify on behalf of the King County Prosecutor, who was defending the calculations made by the Drager.
