People v. G.B. (Tn. Ct., 8/20)

MR. CORLETTA GETS STILL ANOTHER CELLPHONE/PORTABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE CHARGE DISMISSED

In what is becoming the norm for Mr. Corletta, he obtained another dismissal of a Cell Phone charge in a remote rural county in People v. G.B. (Tn. Ct., 8/20).

                Taking a different route this time, Mr. Corletta set forth not only the equities of the case, but engaged in an evidentiary discussion with the District Attorney regarding Cell Phone and Portable Electronic Device tickets, based upon his recent Decision in People v. Scanlon 63 MIsc3d 697 (2019).

                As a result of these discussions and Mr. Corletta’s presentation, he received the District Attorney’s consent to a dismissal, thereby saving his client 5 points without having to appear in a Court that is 3 hours away.

                The client, who travels for purposes of their employment, was extremely grateful, as this also saved the client more than what the client paid Mr. Corletta in potential increases in insurance rates
