Arno Carstens: Not guilty


 Musician and former Springbok Nude Girls front man Arno Carstens has been found not guilty of drunken driving by the Cape Town
District Court.

Magistrate Nasha Banwari also acquitted him on an alternative charge of driving with a blood-alcohol level of 0.21% in a case which has dragged on since December 2010

Banwari said prosecutor Andi Hess had failed to prove beyond reasonable doubt that Carstens had been intoxicated to the extent that he was unable to drive with the required degree of care and that the testimony of the arresting officers was so poor that the court was unable to draw any conclusion from it.

On the alternative charge, she said the blood analysis process was so flawed as to render the results unreliable.
