Michigan Drunk Driving Appellate Decisions

Case Court Year Case Summary
State of Michigan v Stiehl, Docket No. 283641, unpublished September 15, 2009 (2009) Michigan Court of Appeals 2009 Driver following accident was 0.06. Dr. Felix Adatsi from the Michigan State Police Toxicology Unit was permitted to testify to retrograde extrapolation, claiming that the driver was .09 at the time of driving based on nothing more than standard alcohol elimination rates. Without extensive information, retrograde extrapolation is junk science. Defendant discharged his attorney during the trial, so it seems likely that the prosecutor was able to roll out this bogus science without a fight.
