Today’s discussion concerns using an expert witness to assist you with the defense agains an OUI charge.

Often times the only people that have an expert witness involved in a case is the government. That’s because the government has plenty of money to spend on their own private army of investigators and expert witnesses. Generally, the typical state expert witnesses is a chemist. The chemists will testify either about the accuracy and reliability of a breath test or the accuracy and reliability of a blood test. If you want to have the best chance of successfully defending your OUI case, it’s really important to think about employing the services of your own expert.
