2. At the same time the defendant was "under the influence" meaning that the person's ability to drive safely was affected to an appreciable degree by drinking alcohol, taking a drug or a mixture of alcohol and drugs. In a DUI or DWI case a defense can be anything that proves one of these two elements wrong, and thus prevents the prosecution from proving its case. A defense might also prevent the prosecution from introducing evidence at test which reduces the prosecution's ability to show its case.
