On behalf of The Law Office of Jason A. Korner posted in Underage Drinking on Thursday, March 27, 2014.

On behalf of The Law Office of Jason A. Korner posted in Driver's License Suspension or Revocation on Wednesday, March 5, 2014. The outcome in a Missouri drunk driving case may come down to the distinction between two little words: "and" and "or." Defense attorneys in the state are seeking to prevent license suspension and other penalties for their clients by arguing that blood alcohol testing equipment must be calibrated using three different values. That camp -- advocates for the "and" interpretation of the statute -- argues that any evidence collected by a breathalyzer that was not calibrated to...
