State v. J.B.
N/AOUTCOME: DUI Dismissed
The Defendant was stopped after a citizen informed police that he had been driving erratically. The Police located the Defendant's motorcycle and began to follow it. The Police observed the Defendant ... driving erratically, turning in front of oncoming traffic, and failing to use his turn signal. The police then began a DUI investigation. In the police report the Police stated that a video of the DUI investigation was placed into property. After numerous requests to produce the video none was revealed. A motion was filed to dismiss the case on due process grounds because of the loss of key evidence. Darren Finebloom argued the motion and proved that the vieo was lost, was material to the defense of this case, and the defendant was prejudiced because of the lost evidence. The Court dismissed the DUI charge. Ref. 2007 CT 003504)
