PERLOS; PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN V ROBERT LYNN BROWN; PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN V MARCY BETH MILLER; PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN V TIMOTHY FRANK BENTLEY; PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN V JOHN BENJAMIN SCHOMER; PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN V TREVOR CRAIG ENGLAND, 436 MICH 305 (1990): Appellant's Brief

This document is an appellant's brief submitted to the Michigan Supreme Court in the landmark 1990 case People v. Perlos, which consolidated several cases involving the admissibility of blood-alcohol test results. The brief was drafted by the Michigan Attorney General's office to argue for the constitutionality of statutes permitting the use of chemical test results taken for medical purposes in drunk driving prosecutions, challenging lower court rulings that had suppressed this evidence.

The document reflects the legal standard of appellate practice in Michigan during the late twentieth century, adhering to court-mandated formatting for brief submissions. As a foundational text for understanding the intersection of medical privacy, implied consent, and motor vehicle safety laws in Michigan, it represents a pivotal moment in state jurisprudence. It was produced for the bench and the parties involved, serving as a primary record of the state's efforts to clarify the evidentiary rules governing the Michigan Vehicle Code.
