(Phoenix Municipal Court No. 2966630CR): Ms. K. was stopped for driving 51 in a 40 mph zone. She admitted to having 2-3 beers, and submitted to Field Sobriety Tests. After she was transported to the police station, she provided a reading above the legal limit. We were able to point out that the calibration checks on the breath testing device showed that the machine was reading somewhat high. That, combined with her performance on Field Sobriety Tests allowed us to convince the prosecutor to dismiss the DUI.
