State v. Corcoran11/15/2002
SUMMARY DISPOSITION ORDER
The defendant-appellant Michael John Corcoran (Corcoran) appeals from the judgment of conviction for driving under the influence of intoxicating liquor, in violation of Hawaii Revised Statutes (HRS) § 291-4 (2000) issued by the district court of the second circuit, the Honorable Jan K. Apo presiding. On appeal, Corcoran argues: (1) the trial court erred in ruling that the arresting officer had probable cause to believe that Corcoran was intoxicated and (2) the trial court erred in ruling that the "choice of evils" defense was not available.
Upon careful review of the record and the briefs submitted by the parties and having given due consideration to the arguments made and the issues raised by the parties, we hold that: (1) the trial court correctly ruled that the arresting officer had probable cause to believe that Corcoran was intoxicated, and (2) the "choice of evils" defense, pursuant to HRS § 703-302 (1993), does not apply. Therefore,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the judgment from which the appeal is taken is affirmed.
