Charged with Leaving the Scene of an Accident in Massachusetts – Hire a Criminal Attorney Who Wins
Today on Tuesday, 1 August 2023, DISMISSED: In Commonwealth of Massachusetts v. Defendant, Docket No. 2349 CR 0770, Charges of Leaving the Scene of an Accident with Property Damage and Negligent Operation of a Motor Vehicle against my client were DISMISSED PRIOR to arraignment.* In this matter our client was scheduled to be arraigned for the above charges after an accident. He was not present or arrested at the scene, or ever, and was not given the statutory right to a Clerk Magistrate hearing as required by MG.L. c. 218, § 35A. Mass.R.Crim.Pro. 3(g) and Commonwealth v. DiBennadetto, 436 Mass. 310, 313 (2002).
We argued that the information contained within the four corners of the statement of facts in support of this application for a criminal complaint were insufficient to establish probable cause or even the prima facia elements of operation and therefore upon our motion to dismiss, the complaint and ALL CHARGES were DISMISSED.
