Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District / Aug 15, 2023
State of Missouri vs. Brenda L. Ivy
Brenda Ivy appealed her conviction for driving while intoxicated, arguing the circuit court erred by not allowing her expert to testify about specific medical conditions that could have affected her breathalyzer and field sobriety test results. The State contended that the medical records supporting these conditions were not timely disclosed. The appellate court affirmed the conviction, holding that the circuit court did not abuse its discretion in excluding the expert's testimony due to the untimely disclosure, which would have been fundamentally unfair to the State.
