What is the purpose of an expert in alkoholemia?
When the criminal lawyer meets his client, he asks him to provide him with his scenario of alcohol consumption during the hours prior to committing the alleged offence. The expert in alkoholemia can use several variables to calculate how much was the level of alcohol in the client’s blood at the time of the offence and at the time when the client was tested at the police station. If certain criteria regarding evidence are met, these calculations can be used to prove that the level of alcohol in the client’s blood was less than the maximum tolerated level. Only a careful review of the evidence can determine whether or not the expert is required when the defendant wishes to defend himself against charges of having exceeded the tolerated limit of alcohol in his blood and having alcohol-induced impaired faculties.
