F 2101 Note 2 Challenge To Presumption Instruction In Absence Of Expert Testimony
When the prosecution seeks to establish the defendant’s blood alcohol level at the time of the driving based on later testing expert testimony may be necessary and in the absence of such testimony the evidence may be insufficient to support a presumption instruction. (See People v. Beltran (2007) 157 CA4th 235, 243.)
