Reckless Operation of a Motor Vehicle
Client was a hard-working young man with no criminal record. He was charged by State Police for Reckless operation of a motor vehicle. According to the police report, client and accuser were involved in a road-rage-like incident. Beginning with words, then actions and eventually vehicle damage. State Police astutely charged not just our client, but the other party as well. This allowed for both parties to assert their Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination not to testify. And when a seasoned prosecutor reviewed the facts at the day of trial, and based, in part, on the two parties having Fifth Amendment assertions, he agreed to dismiss the charges.
Result: Case, DISMISSED at TRIAL
