A Canadian judge allowed “blowing in the face” evidence in a Driving Under the Influence case against Nickleback lead singer, Chad Kroeger, real name Chad Robert Turton.
Kroeger’s defense claimed the evidence to be unconstitutional, which the Judge acknowledged, but still ruled that it could be accepted. He claimed “The nature of the breach can best be described as technical… and will not affect the fairness of the trial.”
Kroeger has pleaded not guilty to the charge of driving with a blood-alcohol level over .08, despite the fact that his blood-alcohol level was .14.
Kroeger was stopped for speeding while driving his red $176,000 Lamborghini at about 2 a.m. on June 22, 2006, in British Columbia.
It appears the world at large may finally have their vengeance for the last 13 years of formulaic, commercialized grunge which has some how sold millions of records. We can only hope the max sentence for a DUI in Canada is life in prison without parole, or access to a guitar.
