ILLINOIS SUPREME COURT - FRYE HEARING ON HGN

One of the standardized field sobriety tests is the Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus (HGN) test or "the eye" test.  The Illinois Supreme Court recently sent a case back to Peoria County to do a "Frye" Hearing to determine if this test would be acceptable in court in the future.  Jason Ramos is co-counsel with attorney Don Ramsell on the Defense in this "Frye" Hearing.  Once the hearing is complete, the Illinois Supreme Court will take the case back to make the final decision on the admissibility of the HGN test.  To see the Oral Argument in front of the Illinois Supreme Court, click http://www.state.il.us/court/Media/On_Demand.asp  and click on the case of People v. McKown from 9/17/09.  Jason can be seen seated at the Defense counsel table.
