Paradoski v. State
Texas Court of Appeals
477 S.W.3d 342 (2015)
Relevant factsFree
Paradoski crashed her car while visibly impaired, and a blood test showed high concentrations of her prescribed medications; experts agreed the drugs could impair driving, pharmacy records showed inconsistent refills that could prevent tolerance from developing, and while Paradoski claimed a stroke caused her impairment, the attending nurse found no stroke symptoms and an expert testified any stroke would not have negated the drugs' side effects.
IssueFree
Whether a conviction for driving while intoxicated can be based on the defendant's use of physician-prescribed drugs.
