State of Rhode Island v. Michelle Hojeily, A.A. No. 09-00086 Right for use at Station

Defendant appealed the decision of the Appeals Panel sustaining the violation of R.I.G.L. 1956 § 31-27-2.1 (refusal to submit to a chemical test). The District Court held that the arresting officer was not required to reread the “Rights for Use at Station” form to the defendant before a second chemical test (blood test) was administered because the form had been read to the defendant before the first administered chemical test (breathalyzer). Accordingly, the Court sustained the violation against the defendant.
