The school teacher failed several field sobriety tests on the scene, and a Breathalyzer later showed her blood-alcohol level to be four times the legal limit. Given these facts, this case might seem like your run-of-the-mill DWI case. However, with the help of counsel, the teacher successfully got her charges dismissed due to a rare condition called auto-brewery syndrome. Continue reading →
