Police, in this case, had enough probable cause to request a breath sample. If the killer was sober, he'd have wanted to clear that up right then and there.

Just to be clear, the breath sample requested was most likely a roadside test not a breathalyzer. You need to be arrested for impaired driving before a breathalyzer test can be requested and/or refused.
