Diana Ross breath test evidence allowed in drink-driving case

A Tucson judge has ruled that breath test results can be used as evidence against Diana Ross on drink-driving charges, with trial set for 9 September.

A judge has just ruled that the results of breath tests taken from Diana Ross can be used as evidence in her case. Ross faces three drunk driving-related charges in Tucson City Court, Arizona after being stopped by police on 30 Dec. Although she has pleaded innocent, the breathaliser test, 'stand on one leg and count to ten test' and the 'walk in a straight line test', suggest that she was shit-faced. The trial is scheduled to begin Sept. 9.

Her lawyer, Stephen Paul Barnard, attempted to have the breataliser evidence thrown out because Ross said that she felt intimidated when an officer asked her to take more tests later. The ruling for it's inclusion came after a judge watched a police videotape that 'shows that Ross doesn't appear to be scared'.
