How the Prosecution Prove the BAC Level? »
By the drunk driving laws to drive a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol (DUI) or while having a blood-alcohol concentration (BAC) of .08% or higher has been made a criminal offense. However, to be under the influence or to have a BAC of .08% while taking a breath test in a police station an hour or two AFTER driving is not a criminal offense. So how it is proved by the prosecution that what was the BAC when the defendant was driving? Now that’s a problem.
In a DUI case by projecting backwards, using average alcohol absorption and elimination rates you can try to guess what the BAC was, but that is only a very inaccurate guess. This process of guessing is called “retrograde extrapolation” which is a fancy name for trying to guess backwards. Now here the problem is that everyone has a different metabolism, and even in a given person alcohol will metabolize at different rates that depends on many variables.

It is my suggestion that you should choose a law firm that allows having a direct conversation with the attorney. So you should meet him personally or if it is not possible than at least talk to him on phone and discuss your case with him.
