Richard v. State
Facts:
The defendant
appealed his conviction by a jury in the Circuit Court of Baltimore (Maryland)
where a traffic ticket was imposed for exceeding posted speed limit and driving
under the influence and driving with alcohol in his blood in violation of a
court-ordered alcohol restriction on his driver's license. At trial the State
introduced the arresting officer's testimony concerning the results of a
horizontal gaze nystagmus (HGN) test, which was administered by the arresting
officer.

Holdings:
The Maryland Court made the
following holding:
- With particular regard
to expert testimony based on the application of new scientific techniques,
it is recognized that prior to the admission of such testimony, it must be
established that the particular scientific method is itself reliable. On
occasion, the validity and reliability of a scientific technique may be so
broadly and generally accepted in the scientific community that a trial
court may take judicial notice of its reliability. Such is commonly the
case with regard to ballistics tests, fingerprint identification, blood
tests, and the like. Similarly, a trial court might take judicial notice
of the invalidity or unreliability of procedures widely recognized in the
scientific community as bogus or experimental. However, if the reliability
of a particular technique cannot be judicially noticed, it is necessary
that the reliability be demonstrated before testimony based on the
technique can be introduced into evidence.
- Scientific evidence is evidence that draws its convincing force from some principle of science, mathematics and the like. The rationale for subjecting motorists suspected of driving under the influence of alcohol to the horizontal gaze nystagmus (HGN) derives from the scientific principle that consumption of alcohol causes nystagmus.
