Carolina Criminal Defense & DUI Lawyer UpdatesBlood testing is often viewed as the most dependable way to measure alcohol concentration in a North Carolina DWI case. The science
behind BAC tests is powerful, but it is also technical, layered with protocols, human decision points, and laboratory processes that must be followed with precision. When a “drunk driving” case shifts from the roadside to the laboratory, the entire conversation changes. You move from dexterity exercises to molecular chemistry, and from visible performance to physics, gas chromatography and mass spectroscopy, both topics that an average juror would never see unless brought to life at trial by defense counsel.
DWI defense lawyer Bill Powers has spent more than thirty years watching how blood testing evidence develops in courtrooms across Mecklenburg County and throughout North Carolina. During that time, he has cross examined toxicologists, reviewed extensive laboratory documentation, and taught officers and lawyers about breath and blood science, standardized field sobriety tests, and trial strategies and protocols. His experience includes the practical knowledge of how jurors interpret toxicology evidence and how those interpretations can shift once they hear how the underlying science actually works.
