    Case Number: 17-1591

    Defendant was not entitled to retroactive application of the holding in Birchfield v. North Dakota, wherein the U.S. Supreme Court held that the criminalization of a suspects refusal to consent to a blood test violates the Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, since she failed to challenge the warrantless blood draw at any stage of the litigation prior to a nunc pro tunc post-sentence motion. The appellate court affirmed defendants judgment of sentence.
