People v. Deroo

This case presents question as to whether trial court properly admitted blood test results at defendant’s trial on charge of aggravated DUI, where Rule 803(6) otherwise prohibits use of business records exception to admit medical records in criminal cases. Appellate Court, in affirming trial court, found that more specific language set forth in section 11-504.4 of Vehicle Code, which authorizes admissions of “lab reports” in DUI prosecutions, should prevail over any conflict with Rule 803(6), since section 11-504.4 was more specific statute.
