Description
The appellant-plaintiff, State of Wyoming (State), after leave granted, has filed a Bill of Exceptions pursuant to §Â§ 7-12-102 through 7-12-105, W.S. 1977, seeking an answer to legal questions concerning the admissibility of a blood-alcohol test in a case involving driving while under the influence of an intoxicant (DWUI) in violation of § 31-5-233, W.S. 1977. The blood-alcohol test was administered to the appellee-defendant by a hospital laboratory technician at the request of the Wyoming Highway Patrol officer who investigated the accident in which the defendant was injured. As a result of this blood test, as well as other evidence, the defendant was charged with DWUI. He was tried before a justice of the peace and was found guilty. At the trial the defendant unsuccessfully sought to suppress the blood-alcohol test. Upon the justice of the peace pronouncing him guilty, the defendant appealed to the district court. The district court reviewed the record and determined that the blood-alcohol test was inadmissible, that without this evidence the State had no case against defendant, and ordered that the case be remanded to the justice court for entry of a judgment of not guilty. - Page 460
