Document:
Baker v. State, 879 S.W.2d 218 (Tex.App.-Houston [14th Dist.] 1994, pet. ref’d).
Court properly refused to allow defendant to demonstrate his ability to perform FSTs in court as no predicate was laid as to reliability or probative value of said demonstration.
Kaldis v. State, 926 S.W.2d 771 (Tex.App.-Houston [1st Dist.] 1996, pet. ref’d).
Defense request that jurors be allowed to smell and taste non-alcoholic mixtures so jurors would see that it is possible for non-alcoholic mixtures to smell and taste like alcoholic beverages was properly denied.
Injury trial, chart on which officer listed symptoms of intoxication observed in that case was found to be a proper demonstrative aid, but should not have been admitted into evidence. Error in doing so found to be harmless.
Baker v. State, 177 S.W.3d 113 (Tex.App.-Houston [1st Dist.] 2005, no pet.).
The Court held that a fill-in-the-blank chart that covered signs of intoxication the officer observed was admissible as demonstrative evidence. The prosecutor filled in the blanks as the officer testified. The fact that the chart might contain information similar to that in the police report does not render it inadmissible as a demonstrative aid.
Williams v. State, 116 S.W.3d 788 (Tex.Crim.App. October 1, 2003).
To rebut the evidence that defendant’s speech was slurred due to alcohol, his attorney sought to have his client provide a voice exemplar before the jury, but wanted to do so without being subjected to cross examination. The Court of Appeals found that the Trial Court properly prohibited this holding that other means of showing the same thing were available and that to allow the defendant to do so without being exposed to cross examination risks great potential prejudice to the State and risks misleading the jury. The Court of Criminal Appeals reversed finding that a voice exemplar is not testimonial whether it is offered by the State or the Defense. It is physical evidence.
Orrick v. State, 36 S.W.3d 622 (Tex.App.-Fort Worth 2000, no pet.).
State was allowed to offer a full unopened bottle of vodka as demonstrative evidence in this DWI case where a bottle of vodka was found in defendant’s car at the time of the arrest. In holding it was error, albeit harmless, to allow the State to do so the Court found that when an object that is substituted for the original used in the commission of a crime is not an exact replica and differs in its distinguishing characteristics, the probative value of that object as demonstrative evidence will be very slight.
State offered a 9-1-1 call through the testimony of a 9-1-1 call center supervisor. The 9-1-1 tape contained a call made by the passenger in Defendant’s car who stated Defendant was intoxicated and driving dangerously and that she needed help. Court holds that statement as non-testimonial when made in the course of police interrogation under circumstances objectively indicating that the primary purposes of the interrogation is to enable police assistance to me in an ongoing emergency.
Statements made by Defendant’s wife to police in 9-1-1 call were properly admitted and heard on 9-1-1 tape and did not violate confrontation clause. Further statements to police on arrival about Defendant being drunk were not hearsay and were properly admitted as excited utterances and present sense impression.
Rodgers v. State, No. 09-09-00359-CR, 2010 WL 3043705 (Tex.App.-Beaumont 2010, no pet.).
Recording of call made to 9-1-1 by motorist with whom Defendant had a car accident was non­-testimonial evidence, and thus admission of the 9-1-1 recording did not violate Defendant’s right of confrontation in DWI trial. The primary purpose for the 9-1-1 call was to enable police to meet an ongoing emergency. Although the accident had already occurred when the motorist called 9-1-1, Defendant had driven away and motorist was notifying emergency services that an intoxicated person had just committed a hit-and-run and was driving on a public roadway.
Cook v. State, 199 S.W.3d 495 (Tex. App.-Houston [1st Dist.] 2006).
were not inadmissible under the Rules of Evidence as hearsay because they were excited utterances.
