The defendant, Arielle Wall, was charged with impaired driving causing death, dangerous driving causing death, and having a blood alcohol concentration above 80 mg within two hours of operating a conveyance.
The court dismissed the dangerous driving charge due to a lack of evidence regarding the manner of driving.
For the remaining charges, the court relied on expert testimony regarding blood alcohol concentration and its effects on driving faculties.
The defendant's blood alcohol concentration was found to be between 103 and 107 mg/100mL at the time of the blood sample, and calculated to be between 120-127 mg/100mL at the time of the collision.
The court concluded that the defendant's ability to drive was impaired by alcohol, which contributed to the fatal collision.
The defendant was found guilty of impaired driving causing death and having a blood alcohol concentration above 80 mg, and not guilty of dangerous driving causing death.
