In Michigan, the DataMaster ticket will disclose whether two samples were received and tested. If not, we need to find out why. Failure to offer a second sample should result in suppression of the results.
Even so, if the second test produces an invalid sample reading, a third test is not required under current case law. and the results of the first test may not be suppressed. In this situation, it is essential to obtain an expert witness to testify on the “weight” to be given to one test. An expert will testify that science gives little or no weight to an unconfirmed test.
If you look at your ticket and there's only one test result, we will discuss how this will impact your case.
