These are now few and far between. The Officer's Order of Certification read that the stop was for a tag light at 2:00 AM. No odor of alcohol. SFSTs not to my satisfaction ( curved area of a rural road on a grassy area). There were just no reasonable ground. No...
After a great deal of consideration I am not going to teach the State Bar Association course on how to defend a a DUI. The reason? I am not going to lecture prosecutors and police on my strategy to win your case. It is one thing when I teach strictly defense...
My prosecutor today asks for a postponement because the officer is on vacation. She just learned about it yesterday. I object. The judge says if the officer requested it more than 2 weeks ago he will grant it as the Court should have postponed the case. He asks...

Well I got out while the sun was still shining. The Court was so accommodating. All the cases in the morning and afternoon except trials were moved to other judges. They do this elsewhere and I don't think I have ever seen it done in Baltimore City before. It...
Well, I wound up with three prosecutors today. The 2 new and the Division Chief. It was fair because the new prosecutors were not familiar with all the legal issues that could be raised to support their side. This was a non-video stop with a trooper who tried to...
It is not often you get to quote the Marx Brothers in a courtroom. A few weeks ago, I had used Joe Pesci's "Grits" remarks from "My Cousin Vinnie" when comparing how long it took two breath technicians to perform the same actions. It was pretty funny except for the...
