Daniel Hamrick, Petitioner v. State of South Carolina, Respondent.

Summary

The South Carolina Supreme Court reversed Daniel Hamrick’s felony DUI conviction because the trial court erred in admitting Officer Harris’s accident‑reconstruction opinion without a proper Rule 702 foundation. The Court also held that Hamrick’s warrantless blood test results are admissible under the good‑faith exception to the exclusionary rule and remanded for a new trial.
