Clearwater Fatal DUI crash leads to DUI Manslaughter Charge

Mario Ghiloni, 26 was involved in a fatal car crash on Clearwater Beach 9 months ago.  At the time of the crash, blood was drawn and Ghiloni's BAC level was 0.072.  The legal limit at which a person is presumed to be impaired in 0.08.  The law enforcement officials asked the medical examiner to give them an estimate of his BAC at the time of the crash.  The medical examiner determined that Ghiloni would have a blood alcohol level in the range of 0.100 to 0.105.  The crux of the case will hinge on the medical examiner's estimate of his BAC.  His defense against the DUI manslaughter charges will in all likelihood be won or lost on the defense's refutation of this estimate.  This is an interesting case that will require hiring an expert to refute the medical examiner's estimate.
