1 later decision quote this exact passage“The only remaining evidence is the arresting officer's statement that when he first detained her she smelled of alcohol, was unsteady on her feet and seemed confused.

Accordingly, we conclude his testimony alone is insufficient to carry the State's burden of proof.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“the officer's statements in the police report (in comparison to the videotape) are legally insufficient to carry the State's burden of proof for the conviction.”
