A motorist stopped for DUI often will still be absorbing the alcohol into his bloodstream. This means his BAC is rising. Consequently, he may have a lower BAC while he is actually operating the motor vehicle than later when he takes a breath test at the police station. DUI defense lawyers can present the rising blood alcohol defense to raise doubt about whether the person really did have a .08 or higher BAC at the time of driving. If successful, the defense may persuade a judge or jury to acquit the person of drunk driving charges. If you or a loved one has been arrested, we invite you to contact us at Shouse Law Group.
