There is no logic here. This is another case of authorities being given a common sense law that could be useful for the protection of the general public and twisting the intention of the law to a usage that was unintended and not contemplated by the lawmakers. This indicates a lack of ethics by the police and prosecutors and any judge that will hear this indictment. Any judge should dismiss, failing that a jury should nullify.

"There is no logic here"
But there is. It is against the law to knowingly overserve a bar patron. While this can certainly be used (and often is) as a "gotcha" by the liquor authories against an establishment with a history of trouble, any bartender who can't tell that a customer who turns out to have a BAC of .298 is too intoxicated to be served deserves to slapped hard. This is just an example of the police writing up everyone who had anything to do with this avoidable mess.

There is no logic here.True. Thank MADD.

Nice theory, but MADD has courtroom and case "observers" in nearly every courtroom in this country every day, thereby preventing this from happening.
