View this case - free  

Overview: Based on disparate opinions, in cases and technical writings, as to horizontal gaze nystagmus (HGN) test, judicial notice of test should not have been taken and a Frye hearing should have been held. Error was not harmless as no other evidence of defendant's impaired state was offered, making it likely trial court relied heavily on HGN test results.
