That is to say if he decides to fight it.

My take on that is that because the video tape was evidence of the sobriety test it can't
be ruled out of evidence so the jury will hear the statements made at that time.
So it's up to the jury as to how much the statements mean.
The jury saw the entire video tape in this case.
