On today’s podcast we continue our 5-part series on Attacking Breath Testing. In this third part of this series, James Nesci joins the NC DWI Guy to reveal how to use basic math principles to attack breath machines. James Nesci has been board certified by the National College of DUI Defense since 2001 and served as the College’s Dean during the 2016-2017 academic year.

Mr. Nesci often defended cases well into the .30 blood-alcohol range. He was one of the lead attorneys on the Intoximeters RBT-IV breath-testing issue in Southern Arizona which resulted in the suppression of breath tests in over 7,000 cases. He is one of only a handful of attorneys in the country who has ever held a DOT-Compliant Permit to operate an Intoxilyzer 8000.

Mr. Nesci owns both an Intoxilyzer 8000 which he regularly used for in-court demonstrations and for research purposes before he retired.
