472 N.E.2d 610 | Ind. Ct. App. | 1984
OPINION ON PETITION FOR REHEARING
In its Petition for Rehearing, the State, for the first time, raises the argument that IND.CODE § 9-11-4-14(b)(1), effective September 1, 1988, requires this Court to affirm Oller's conviction of Class D felony driving under the influence of intoxicating liquor. The felony charge was pursuant to IND.CODE § 9-4-1-54(b)
IND. CODE § 9-11-4-14(b)(1), provides that a certified copy of a person's driving record obtained from the Bureau of Motor Vehicles is prima facie evidence of previous convictions of operating while intoxicated. However, as was stated in Warner, where identical documents were admitted, "it cannot be ascertained from the face of the printout whether he was previously convicted of driving under the influence of alcohol." 406 N.E.2d at 973. Therefore, as a matter of law, such printouts, admitted into evidence in this cause, cannot be evidence of a conviction notwithstanding IND.CODE § 9-11-4-14(b)(1).
The Petition for Rehearing is denied.
Denied.
. Now see IND.CODE § 9-11-2-3.
. This Court has previously held that computer printouts are admissible as they show arrests, but by themselves do not prove prior convictions. Cunningham v. State, (1982) Ind.App., 438 N.E.2d 308; Warenr v. State, (1980) Ind.App., 406 N.E.2d 971.
