Cecil W. Crowson Appellate Court Clerk STATE OF TENNESSEE ) ) NO. 01C01-9703-CR-00094 Appellee ) ) PICKETT COUNTY v. ) ) HON. JOHN A. TURNBULL DAVID L. HATHAWAY ) ) (D.U.I.) Appellant. ) )

CONCURRING OPINION

I concur in the result reached by Judge Barker in his thorough opinion.

Having concurred with Judge Wade in his opinion in State v. Jerry Wayne Edison, No.

03C01-9605-CC-00199 (Tenn. Crim. App., Knoxville, June 18, 1997) that an abuse of

discretion standard applies to this court’s review of the trial court’s ruling on the

admissibility of intoximeter results, I write separately to indicate that I favor the Edison

standard of review as opposed to the standard of preponderance of the evidence to which

Judge Barker adheres in this case. I agree that the trial court’s decision would be

affirmed under either standard of review.
