PHILADELPHIA — Improperly calibrated breath-analysis machines used by Philadelphia police could mean that more than 1,000 drunken-driving cases dating to September 2009 are in jeopardy, law enforcement officials said Wednesday.
More than 700 suspects had already been convicted using the faulty tests. District Attorney Seth Williams said those defendants will be offered new trials but noted that some cases will hold up if they’re based on other evidence, including blood tests.
