Well for at least the 3rd time I have had a DUI case dismissed with the same officer. The video did not corroborate his written report. The prosecutor suggested last week that he put the case on and let me crush the guy so he would learn not to do it this way. I...

Harford County- 3rd Recent DUI Dismissal and $185.00 Court Costs Instead of 9 Months
In the past few months I have had 3 DUI cases dropped by the State. All were flawed as a result of the poor policing in the cases. The most recent had a video showing the officer did not do what was in the police report. Prior to his having a video camera, I had...

The importance of police KGA Broadcasts can never be underestimated. My client tells me about his stop and subsequent arrest and I expect I will see the same information in the police report. I have had cases with this officer before and know what he does EVERY...

Domestic Violence Case Injustice
I had a DV case dismissed this morning because the alleged victim failed to appear for the second time. She should have been charged with assault and therefore required to be there but the system is sometimes rigged against a man. The facts I am going to set forth...
Motion To Suppress Granted and Prosecutor Worked Overtime To Dismiss Another Case
I had a trial in Baltimore City. I asked the supervisors to review the video as I thought my client did well on the SFSTs. The stop was for a brake light and there was no bad driving and everything else was almost perfect. I cannot get the case dismissed or amended...
LISTEN TO THE TESTIMONY
I tried a case a few weeks ago where the issue was going to be the officer inducing my client not to take the test. He had an accident avoiding a deer and as a result did poorly on the SFSTs. I had a witness to the inducement. However, during his direct exam the...
I Want to See the Paperwork
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...
