I once was the foreman on a petit jury that found a woman guilty of DUI. Although she demonstrated impairment by erratic driving, failing an on-site eye nystagmus test and difficulty walking a line at the police station, some jurors were still not ready to convict. What convinced them that she was guilty was that, when she was pulled over, she was driving her friends, one of whom was passed out in the back seat, back to their cars so that they could drive home. Although a BAC was never taken because she refused, her decision to allow her friends to drive drunk demonstrated "the loss of the normal use of the faculties due to the introduction of alcohol into the bloodstream".
