NEAL, Judge,
dissenting.
I respectfully dissent in two particulars. First, I am of the opinion that a blood aleohol test result of .10 or more is, under IND. CODE 9-11-1-7, prima facie evidence of intoxication and, until rebutted, sufficient evidence to support a conviction of operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated. I disagree with the holdings in Smith v. State and Clark v. State.
Secondly, Shady did not demand a jury trial within 10 days prior to the first scheduled trial date. Under Ind. Rules of Procedure, Criminal Rule 22, he has waived that right. In accordance with C.R. 22, there is no need to address the matter of personal waiver of the right to a jury which applies to felonies.
