“We
are pleased with the Court’s decision
upholding the scientific reliability of
the Alcotest and the admissibility of its
results in evidence. The Court’s ruling
provides a firm foundation for using this
next generation of breath testing instrument
in the enforcement of our drunken driving
laws. The Alcotest, utilizing state-of-the-art
technology and a host of additional safeguards,
will provide strong evidence and sure justice
for those who violate New Jersey’s
drunken driving laws. It will be an invaluable
tool for police in their efforts to protect
the lives of all motorists who use New Jersey’s
roadways.”
“I
want to commend the attorneys who represented
the State, including Assistant Attorney
General Boris Moczula, Deputy Attorney General
Christine Hoffman, Deputy Attorney General
John Dell’Aquilo, Deputy Attorney
General Robert Lougy, retired Deputy Attorney
General Stephen H. Monson, and retired Assistant
Attorney General Jessica S. Oppenheim. I
also want to thank the members of the New
Jersey State Police who assisted them, particularly
Sgt. Kevin M. Flanagan. Their dedication
and skillfulness in handling this complex
and lengthy case ensured today’s victory.”
