Two on exigency and DUI blood draws

The record, including medical records from the hospital, support the trial court’s findings that defendant was alert and competent and consented to the blood draw. State’s exigency argument doesn’t need to be addressed. State v. Cooper, 2016-Ohio-3093, 2016 Ohio App. LEXIS 1944 (6th Dist. May 20, 2016).*

There was no exigency for defendant’s blood draw, and the implied consent law is not a substitute. State v. Carter, 2016 Tenn. Crim. App. LEXIS 376 (May 20, 2016).*
