It is extremely rare when a judge takes a case away from a jury and acquits the defendant. It happened last week in the Circuit Court for Cecil County. This was a DUI involving a high breath test. The client's career depended on the outcome. He suffers from an extreme medical condition where whenever he eats, he regurgitates the food and has to chew it again and again. He was just coming from dinner when stopped for speeding. The receipt from the restaurant showed one beer and all that he and his family had eaten. He explained his GERD issue to the arresting officer, who told him it was not an issue. Well, it is an issue! We hired Ronald Henson, PhD. to testify that the breath machine would basically add the alcohol coming from his stomach into his esophagus to the alcohol from his deep lungs and give an unreliable and high reading. The mouth alcohol detector, if working, would not differentiate because of the constant amount of alcohol interfering with the deep lung air.
