State v. Jones
Supreme Judicial Court of Maine
Decided March 17, 1983PublishedCited by 34 opinions
1Opinion of the Court
CARTER, Justice.
After being charged with operating under the influence, 29 M.R.S.A. § 1312 (1981), 1 the defendant filed a motion to suppress the results of his blood-alcohol test. In his motion, the defendant argued that he had the right to consult with counsel before deciding whether to take a blood-alcohol test. After a hearing in District Court (Portland), the judge, based on the denial of right to counsel, granted the defendant’s motion to suppress. Pursuant to 15 M.R.S.A. § 2115-A (1982), the State appeals the suppression of the defendant’s blood test results. We sustain the appeal.
