A lawyer for the longtime sportscaster challenged the standard protocols for analyzing blood specimens. Simmons, 68, faces up to a year in jail if convicted.
A lawyer for former KSAT sports anchor Greg Simmons mounted an attack on the lab analysis that showed Simmons' blood alcohol concentration was far above the legal limit was when he was pulled over on suspicion of drunken driving early last year. Defense attorney Mark Stevens argued in court on Thursday that the blood analysis was flawed and should be thrown out as evidence in the driving while intoxicated charge that resulted.
Prosecutors upgrade DWI charge against former KSAT sportscaster A deputy followed Simmons with his lights and siren on for about five minutes before the sportscaster pulled over, the report said. Simmons believed he was driving on U.S. 281, and when a deputy asked to see his license, Simmons handed him a gold American Express card, the report said. Authorities could not obtain a breath sample from Simmons, so a licensed vocational nurse drew his blood.
