Jennifer L. Lefebvre, Defendant Below, Appellant v. State of Delaware, Plaintiff Below, Appellee

Summary

The Court affirmed Lefebvre’s DUI conviction, holding that probable cause existed before field sobriety testing based on the officers’ observations and other circumstances. Favorable results on properly administered field sobriety tests did not negate probable cause that had already been established, so the subsequent intoxilyzer results were properly admitted. Steele, Chief Justice, and Berger, Justice, dissenting, would have required consideration of all circumstances, including the passed tests, without segmenting the probable-cause inquiry.
