According to police, client was driving an unregistered vehicle with a bad inspection sticker when police pulled him over. Upon review, they determined that he did not have a legally required Breathalyzer machine installed in his vehicle, which is a mandatory 6-month jail sentence with no parole, probation, or suspended sentence. Client understood that jail was nearly unavoidable but regardless he underwent intense preparation for trial with Attorney Barabino. At the first trial date, the Commonwealth was unable to secure a necessary witness, so another date was selected. On, the second trial date, the Commonwealth was unable to secure a necessary witness from the Registry of Motor Vehicles (RMV), leaving them with limited options. The result was, after consultation, a full dismissal of the mandatory jail sentence.
RESULT: Mandatory Jail Sentence, DISMISSED.
