Fleeing and Eluding—Charge Dismissed

Fleeing and Eluding—Charge Dismissed

C&N’s client was charged with felony fleeing and eluding in the fourth degree. Marisa’s careful review of the discovery revealed that the police violated our client’s constitutional rights by carrying out an invalid traffic stop. She wrote a motion to suppress the stop, and Takura conducted the evidentiary hearing. After skillfully cross-examining both police officers present at the stop, Takura argued that the government did not meet its burden. The court ruled in favor of the defense, finding that the stop was invalid. Through C&N’s team approach, the motion to suppress was granted, and the case was dismissed. C&N’s client can now continue working and will not face a year suspension of his license, in addition to a felony conviction.
