Quick question...what is the point of someone that has failed the test to plead not guilty?

It is the prosecutors job to prove guilt beyond a shadow of a doubt. One test may be enough, but there may also be other factors involved. It is not supposed to be the accused person's responsibility top rove their innocent. "Innocent until proven guilty" is the word of law

It also allows his attorney to possibly negotiate with the prosecutor on a lesser fine/sentence than what "the book" recommends.

Can speak from experience (long, long ago - and it only took that one instance) that the breathalyzer variance is a real and common issue lawyers can question to get charges lessened. If it was blood tested levels there's not a lot of give, but breath there absolutely is.

Let's wait and see what additional info is shared, and what punishment he gets from NE as well as UNL before saying it's an abuse of power and dirty.

Breath tests aren't admissible in court so if he had stopped and was on his way down the blood test may very well have been lower. Makes no difference whatsoever what the breathalyzer read. My bad/ pretty much covered above.
