Kriss Bauman collided with and ran over a motorcyclist. Officers responding to the scene placed Bauman in a police vehicle and read him his Miranda rights. He was handcuffed and read the implied consent law. His request to phone his attorney was denied by the officers. Bauman eventually consented to a blood draw, which revealed the presence of methamphetamine in his blood. Bauman now challenges the blood draw as lacking the voluntary consent required by the State and Federal Constitutions. The State counters that Bauman’s consent was implied by statute. Bauman further contends that the trial court erroneously admitted lay witness testimony at trial that Bauman had been chasing the motorcycle with the intent to run it over.
The scheduled panelists are Judge May, Judge Brown, and Judge Foley.
