Lockhart v. State (Majority, with Concurring and Dissenting)
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial, Defendant was convicted of driving while intoxicated (DWI) and failure to submit to a chemical test. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding (1) the State presented substantial evidence to support the convictions; (2) the police officer that pulled Defendant over had probable cause to believe that the vehicle violated a traffic law, and therefore, the trial court properly denied Defendant’s motion to suppress; (3) Defendant’s argument that the court’s denial of Defendant’s motion for posttrial relief regarding his sentence was not preserved for appellate review; (4) the criminal information was not defective; and (5) evidence of Defendant’s two prior DWI convictions was properly admitted.
