State v. Romanko

Summary

The court held that the trial court did not abuse its discretion or violate the defendant’s constitutional right to present a defense by excluding his proposed in-court demonstration of field sobriety tests. Because the demonstration was intended to reenact events under conditions that were not substantially similar to those at the arrest, it was properly deemed unreliable, and the defendant remained free to present his disability theory through other admissible evidence. The judgment affirming the conviction was affirmed.
