Ricky Mason Durrette v. County of Spotsylvania

Court of Appeals of Virginia

1Opinion of the Court

ELDER, Judge.

Ricky Mason Durrette (appellant) appeals his conviction for driving under the influence of alcohol in violation of Spotsylvania County Code § 12-86 and Virginia Code § 18.2-266. Appellant contends that the trial court erred in allowing into evidence the Division of Forensic Science’s certificate of analysis establishing his blood alcohol content, where such certificate was attested by a “division designated representative” instead of by the Division Director. Because the trial court did not err, we affirm the conviction.
