Massachusetts' highest court has made a ruling that could set the stage for the dismissal of tens of thousands of drunken driving cases. Because of a 2013 case, it was discovered that some Breathalyzer testing machines were faulty because they had not been routinely calibrated to ensure their accuracy. Now the SJC has ruled that all tests performed on those machines between June 1, 2011, and April 18, 2019, are now excluded from criminal prosecutions. People who pleaded guilty or were convicted because of Breathalyzer evidence will be able to have their pleas withdrawn or ask for a new trial.
