State v. Renfro
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial, Defendant was found guilty of operating under the influence (class B). Defendant appealed, arguing that the trial court abused its discretion in granting the State’s motion in limine to exclude as irrelevant the finding of an administrative hearing examiner that Defendant’s Intoxilyzer test results were unreliable due to improper pre-test observation by police. The trial court excluded the evidence pursuant to Me. R. Evid. 403. The Supreme Judicial Court affirmed, holding that the trial court properly determined that the probative value of the exclude evidence was substantially outweighed by the danger of unfair prejudice.
