Sintesi Legislator
Generato dall'IAThe Supreme Court dismissed the appeal against a conviction for driving under the influence of alcohol. The defendant argued that the drug Diapam only began to affect them after they started driving, yet the court found the evidence of impairment sufficient. Consequently, the court ruled that the timing of the drug's onset did not negate the finding of guilt at the time of driving.
