MINNESOTA DWI INTOXILYZER SOURCE CODE UPDATE: IS YOUR LAWYER A MEMBER OF THE COALITION?

Posted On August 12, 2010 by Charles Ramsay

One Hennepin County judge wrote in a source code order that it may be malpractice for a lawyer not to seek breath test software. That remains to be seen and depends primarily on the outcome of our experts' analysis. Practically speaking, however, the source code coalition has prepared matters to point where it requires little effort from attorneys to take advantage of this issue.

The upside is obvious -- drivers' DWI breath tests could be thrown out. There is little down side -- a minimal contribution from each lawyer and a delay necessitated by the review.

So the question is: is your lawyer a member of the Minnesota Intoxilyzer 5000 Source Code Coalition.

If not, get another lawyer.

I've listed of all members below as of today. In addition to this, all state public defender cases are included.

A special thanks goes to Pennsylvania attorney, Justin McShane of the McShane Firm, LLC. Although Justin represents none of the Minnesota litigants, he generously donated a hefty sum in an effort to support the cause. Justin, recognized as one of the top criminal defense attorneys in the country, probably has more scientific knowledge in the criminal defense arena than any other lawyer.

Once others learn of Justin McShane's leadership here, other lawyers from around the country will soon follow his lead with their kind contributions.
