Expert Witness
The officer conducting the field sobriety tests may be qualified as an expert witness. The number of times which the officer has conducted the field sobriety tests is not a factor in qualifying him as an expert, but rather should affect the weight of his testimony.
A licensed medical professional who determines that a suspect is physically unable to submit to a test of the breath may be called upon to testify as to the suspect's condition.
