State, supra, that: "* * * in order to render motion pictures of the `Alcoholic Influence Test' admissible, it need only be shown that the tests were performed voluntarily by the accused.

Duckworth v. State green
oklacrimapp · 1957
1 sentence

1957By no stretch of the imagination could it be said that such proof requires an accused to testify against himself, any more than evidence by others of any other actions and conduct of an accused in connection with an offense with which he may stand charged. *628 I think the case of Duckworth v. State, Okl.Cr., 309 P.2d 1103 , cited as authority for the present holding is basically unsound, and not supported by logic or reason.
