I am trying to defend my niece in an AZ 2nd extreme DUI case. Unless I find a better line, the fact that she was seen by the cops pumpng gas right before stop seems profitable based on that piece. I am not a trial lawyer and am only doing this at my niece's request, so I don't have a  whole lot of resources. Do you know of any other gasoline-related cases, experts or other material that might help.I would be very grateful for any help. Your blog is a teriffic asset, particularly for me.Thanks.Frederick Rieck Dear Mr. Taylor:I was intrigued by your posting on breath analysis and gasoline.
