259. Substitute Analyst Testimony in Light of Smith v. Arizona with Justin Philbeck
Episode 259
Thursday, 9 October, 2025

On today's episode special guest Justin Philbeck shares strategies for attacking substitute analyst testimony, particularly on blood results involving drug impaired driving cases. After a decade as a prosecutor, including five years as a Regional Traffic Safety Resource Prosecutor with the NC Conference of DAs, Justin stepped into criminal defense and concentrates his practice in DWI, traffic fatalities, and driver's license protection. In this episode, Justin does a deep dive into Smith v. Arizona and it's NC progeny before offering practical strategies for using these cases to suppress lab results on a DWI case. If you have any cases involving drug possession or drug related DWI, this episode will provide ammo for fighting the admission of lab results.
