Drug influence evaluation not generally accepted scientific evidence, says NJSBA to Supreme Court
The New Jersey State Bar Association (NJSBA) sounded off on the lack of scientific reliability of drug influence evaluations (DIE) in assessing a person’s guilt in a driving under the influence matter, stating that the prosecution failed to establish its general acceptance within the scientific community under the Frye v. U.S., 293 F. 1013 (1923) standard. It filed an amicus curiae brief with the Supreme Court in the matter of State v. Olenowski, Docket No. 082253. The brief was written by NJSBA members John Menzel, Joshua H. Reinitz and past NJSBA President Miles S. Winder III.
