Essex County (Lawrence District Court) - following a successful Motion to Suppress Evidence, in which the Court concluded that police failed to follow proper constitutional procedures for stopping, searching and questioning someone in public, the District Attorney's office was forced to concede that it could not take its case to trial against our client, who was never actually seen driving, and who police arrested when he attempted to leave the scene of inquiry, even though officers eventually admitted he had no obligation to speak with them, and could have walked away. The Court concluded that police failed to adequately notify our client of his rights, and the District Attorney's office was forced to stand by as we successfully moved to dismiss the case.
Essex County (Gloucester District Court) - despite the fact that the conviction was over 20 years old, the Court allowed our Motion to Vacate Guilty Plea and Order New Trial, when we raised questions about the validity of the underlying guilty plea, taken by the Court from a 22-year-old defendant with no representation at the time, less than one month after the alleged offense. The docket sheets and court documentation failed to give any indication that our client had been notified of his constitutional rights at the hearing in 1992, and the present Court allowed the Motion, concluding that our client's rights were likely violated when he plead guilty.
