People v. N.E. (Brighton Tn. Ct.  3/21/16)

Mr. Corletta turned a seemingly impossible situation, where his client was involved in a motor vehicle accident with a revoked license for DWI, into a minor traffic infraction in People v. N.E. (Brighton Tn. Ct.  3/21/16). In that case, the client was operating a motor vehicle without a valid license due to DWI; and was involved in a motor vehicle accident. The license was previously revoked for DWI, and suspended for Failure to Appear on well over 10 traffic matters. This qualified the client for jail, if convicted.

 

Going to work immediately, Mr. Corletta attacked the sufficiency of the accusatory instrument, which was defective and carelessly prepared. The Court noted the deficiencies and pointed them out to the District Attorney. Rather than face dismissal, the District Attorney offered a plea to 2 minor traffic violations in full satisfaction of all charges.

 

Mr. Corletta’s client therefore avoided incarceration and was convicted of only 2 minor traffic violations with fines of less than $400.00. Once again, by carefully reviewing the accusatory instrument and noting its deficiencies, something other lawyers often don’t do, Mr. Corletta was able to obtain a favorable result in a bad situation.
