Trooper Barton - Burien

Some helpful statements made under oath:

On 11/3/08, Trooper Barton testified that she last read her NHTSA training manual in Sept. '08, but hadn't "read it front to back." She "did not recall" what NHTSA said about test validity requiring standardized administration. She also stated that she always keeps suspects handcuffed during Miranda at the station, and reads the rights to them, but doesn't let them see the document.

Judge Phillipson denied all defense motions, and found "30 questions" admissible despite client merely saying he understood rights, but not acknowledging a waiver.

Testimony was on 11/3/08, pm, in Burien court #2.
