People v. Vanderah

162 N.W.2d 150, 11 Mich. App. 722, 1968 Mich. App. LEXIS 1373
Michigan Court of Appeals·Decided June 24, 1968·No. Docket No. 4,070·Published

Opinion

Per Curiam.

Defendant was convicted of operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of intoxicating liquor. CLS 1961, § 257.625 (Stat Ann 1960 Rev § 9.2325). He contends that the results of a consented-to blood test were inadmissible over his objection; that the trial court improperly prohibited defendant from impeaching a witness by use of an unauthenticated transcript from another trial and that defendant’s prior driving record was erroneously brought out on his cross-examination.

[724] CLS 1961, § 257.625a, as amended by PA 1964, No 104 (Stat Ann 1967 Cum Supp § 9.2325[1]) authorizes the admission in evidence of the results of such a test. The trial court’s rulings on the impeachment question and on defendant’s past driving record were proper.

Affirmed.

Quinn, P. J., and Fitzgerald and J. H, G-illis, JJ., concurred.
