My colleague Shea Denning, a frequent contributor to this blog in the area of motor vehicle law, has put together the ultimate authority on all things related to State v. Knoll, 322 N.C. 535 (1988). Her paper is a must-read for officers, magistrates, jailers, and lawyers on both sides of DWI cases. It discusses Knoll and its progeny, and talks about recent statutory changes designed to eliminate dismissals under Knoll (or to secure defendants’ right of access to witness, depending on your point of view).
The paper is available here.
