Vermont DWI prosecutions at risk over old consent forms
Judge John Connarn of Washington County Superior Court ruled an out-of-date implied consent form used by police in a DWI case does not meet a 1975 amendment to the Vermont statute. The forms, once distributed statewide by Project CRASH, could jeopardize many cases. State's Attorney Gregory McNaughton noted other charging methods exist and that guidance to stop using the old forms began in May 1975.
