Michigan Drunk Driving Appellate Decisions

Case Court Year Case Summary
State of Michigan v Donald Lee Mitchell Michigan Court of Appeals 2009 ----------------------------------------
State of Michigan v Edward Eugene Hadley Michigan Court of Appeals 2009 ----------------------------------------
State of Michigan v Edward Sanders, Jr. Michigan Court of Appeals 2009 ----------------------------------------
State of Michigan v Eno, Docket No. 286216, unpublished, December 15, 2009 (2009) Michigan Court of Appeals 2009 A search warrant with the wrong date, no fax confirmation, no return of tabulation, and a litany of other errors, described as mere "irregularities attendant to the warrant for the blood draw" was approved by the Court of Appeals. Officers could not produce patrol car videos on the day of trial. All approved by the Court of Appeals because defendant was a 0.25 BAC.
State of Michigan v Gladding, Docket No. 285295, unpublished, November 12, 2009 (2009) Michigan Court of Appeals 2009 Prosecutor did not engage in prosecutorial misconduct when he questioned defendant about calling police officer a "punk bitch" even though court had previously ruled that defendant's post-arrest statements should not be raised during trial to prove intoxication on OWI 3rd charge.
State of Michigan v Hogan, Docket No. 285492, unpublished, Decided November 19, 2009 (2009) Michigan Court of Appeals 2009 Dr. Michele Glinn, Ph.D. was permitted to provide expert testimony in a .04 DUI multiple death accident case providing retrograde extrapolation evidence. Retrograde extrapolation evidence is bad science. Defendant ran a stop sign but claimed that a deer had distracted her. The defendant's blood measured well below the legal limit 2 hours after the accident and (apparently) witnesses did not describe the motorist as impaired on scene. It is not clear what Dr. Michele Glinn testified to in this case because the balance of arguments are not developed in this appeal. Dr. Glinn frequently testifies for the prosecution, providing testimony that is intentionally helpful to the prosectuion. Although I have seen her present honest testimony in court, she is essentially a bag man for prosecutors across the state since she was relieved of her position with the Michigan State Police.
State of Michigan v Hyde, 285 Mich App 428; 775 NW2d 833 (2009) Michigan Court of Appeals 2009 Where officer was unaware of Michigan prohibition against demanding a blood draw under Michigan's implied consent law, the blood test results should have been suppressed.
