And he was not happy about it at all!!!!! He gave my client a thorough lecture on his conduct, told him he might have put him in jail, but instead had to send him on his way. Very simple case. Client strikes his neighbors fence. Neighbor in the house and hears it....
A very interesting and intellectually enjoyable trial in Howard County District Court. A smart judge and a smart prosecutor. Everything was litigated- the SFSTs and the admissibility of the breath test.It was a one witness case that took an hour and a half to try. An...
