I also observed prior to forty-five (45) degrees in both eyes also. The next test I administered was the Walk and Turn. WALK AND TURN:
I first placed the accused in the starting position, right foot in front of the left, touching heel to toe, and with his arms down by his side. I advised the accused to remain in the starting position while I explained and demonstrated the test. The accused raised his arms from his side to try to regain his balance for the entire test. During the nine (9) steps back, on step nine (9) John lost his balance fell to his right. The next test I administered was the One Leg Stand.
