The Eastern High Court reversed the Glostrup Court's decision to reject the defendant's request for a blood type comparison. The defendant was charged with drunk driving after failing multiple breathalyzer and blood alcohol tests on the same day. The court ruled that excluding the blood type comparison would significantly hinder the defense's ability to challenge the prosecution's evidence.

Landsretten ændrede byrettens afgørelse, således at blodtypesammenligning af blodprøver tillades

[DOKUMENT] Retsbog med kendelse (2 sider) UDSKRIFT AF ØSTRE LANDSRETS DOMBOG ____________ KENDELSE

Afsagt den 30. november 2010 af Østre Landsrets 18. afdeling (landsdommerne Dorthe Wiisbye, Ulla Staal og Charlotte Bliss Elmquist (kst.)).

18. afd. kære nr. S-3562-10: Anklagemyndigheden mod Tiltalte (CPR nr. (Født 1955)) (advokat Steen Henriksson, besk.)

Tiltalte har kæret Glostrup Rets kendelse af 16. november 2010 (66410/2010), hvorved hans anmodning om foretagelse af en blodtypesammenligning blev afvist.

Det fremgår af sagen blandt andet, at en alkotest foretaget i forbindelse med anholdelsen af Tiltalte den 14. maj 2010 kl. 20.08 viste en promille på 1,12. En blodprøve udta-get samme dato kl. 21.15 viste en mindsteværdi på 2,55 promille, og en udåndingsprøve senere samme dag omkring kl. 22.00 viste en promille på 1,6.

På denne baggrund finder landsretten, at en blodtypesammenligning ikke kan afvises at være af betydning for tiltaltes forsvar, hvorfor anmodningen herom tages til følge.

Thibestemmes:

Tiltaltes anmodning om foretagelse af en blodtypesammenligning tages til følge.
