State v. Edwards
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial, Defendant was found guilty of driving or control of a vehicle while having 0.08 percent or more of alcohol in his blood. The offense was found to be a third offense DUI within a ten-year period, and Defendant was sentenced to two years in the state penitentiary. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding (1) the circuit court did not err in denying Defendant’s motion to suppress blood evidence seized without a warrant, as the good faith exception to the exclusionary rule applied in this case; and (2) the circuit court did not err in denying Defendant’s motion to strike a previous DUI conviction from the part II information.
