Carroll County District Court DUI Not Guilty
Carroll County District Court is open for trials. The dockets are only s few cases and times are staggered. I had no trouble trying a case on the 2:15 PM docket. This was a "new" case. The offense happened in August. Most cases are pre-pandemic closing. There...
One Advantage of COVID
The only upside for those not being detained is that it gives them a chance to complete the Program I have them enroll in. Because some of these cases are now a year old, the judges recognize that the client has basically been on successful probation for the year as...

Not Guilty Driving Under the Influence of Prescription Medication
This case is the same one my most recent review references. My client takes Morphine during the day and an Oxy at night because of multiple surgeries. The dosage of each is small as it has decreased over the year since an accident. His roommate drives with him all...
