State v. Buehler

Summary

The Idaho Supreme Court affirmed Buehler’s aggravated-DUI conviction, holding that evidence concerning the victim’s conduct was irrelevant because the State needed to prove only some causal connection between Buehler’s intoxicated driving and the victim’s injuries. The court further held that an officer’s lapsed breathalyzer certification did not require exclusion of Buehler’s BAC results because the State could establish reliability and procedural conformity through expert testimony.
