3-6-17 state supreme court to hear fdl county drunken driving case

todayMarch 6, 2017

The Wisconsin Supreme Court will hear a case involving a drunken driving crash that seriously injured a bicyclist in Fond du lac County.  Last August a Wisconsin Appeals court reversed Fond du lac judge Gary Sharpe’s decision to toss out Adam Blackman’s .10 percent blood-alcohol test results.  Sharpe said Blackman was compelled to give a sample under a coercive portion of the  state’s implied consent law. The appellate court concluded that Blackman was not coerced because he had the choice to submit a sample or have his driver’s license revoked.   The June 2013 crash on County Highway WH in the town of Taycheeda seriously injured Steven Kuphal of Fond du Lac.
