Commonwealth v. Denny A. Gannett

Summary

The Supreme Judicial Court reversed the trial judge’s order suppressing the defendant’s blood alcohol content evidence derived from a mathematical conversion of serum/plasma ethanol results, holding that such conversion is not a “chemical analysis” under G.L. c. 90, §24(1)(e) and therefore is admissible. The case was remanded for entry of a judgment consistent with this opinion.
