DUI Cases In Palm Beach Move Forward After Intoxilyzer Challenge Is Rejected By JudgesPalm Beach County DUI defense lawyers failed in their attempt to persuade a panel of seven county judges that the Intoxilyzer 8000 is not an approved instrument in Florida for accurately measuring blood-alcohol levels.
