Jason S Brown v. Hon. mcclennen/state

Summary

The court held that Brown did not voluntarily consent to a warrantless blood draw because the deputy’s admonition falsely conveyed that Arizona law required him to submit to testing. The State failed to establish an exception to the exclusionary rule, and the court reversed the convictions and sentences requiring the blood-alcohol evidence while remanding the remaining conviction for harmless-error analysis. The court declined to address the constitutional challenges to the medical-purposes statute because Brown was not charged under it and lacked standing to challenge it.
