5/10/2001

ng direction on M Street in downtown Washington, D.C. He had alcohol on his breath, and his appearance in speech and gait confirmed that he was under the influence of alcohol. See Stevenson v. District of Columbia, 562 A.2d 622, 624 (D.C. 1989); Price v. District of Columbia, 54 A.2d 142 (D.C. 1947). According to Officer Williams, Karamychev effectively "failed" all of his roadside sobriety tests. Karamychev's refusal to take chemical tests at the police station was evidence from which the judge could properly infer consciousness of guilt. Stevenson, supra, 562 A.2d at 624. Moreover, "lay witnesses, including police officers, may testify to their opinion whether the driver of a vehicle appeared to be under the influence of alcohol," Harris v. District of Columbia, 601 A.2d 21, 24 (D.C. 1991), and Officer Williams, an experienced officer, gave such testimony in this case. Viewed, as it must be, in the light most favorable to the prosecution, the evidence was more than sufficient to support Karamychev's conviction.
