People v. T.W. (Brighton Tn. Ct., 11/9/16)

Mr. Corletta saves still another license; client charged with 11 point speeding violation; charge dismissed.

          In a case which would have resulted in an automatic license suspension if the client was convicted, Mr. Corletta erased an 11 point speeding violation with his knowledge of the law in People v. T.W. (Brighton Tn. Ct., 11/9/16).

          In that case, Mr. Corletta appeared on behalf of his client and requested a Supporting Deposition. The Supporting Deposition was sent to his client; not Mr. Corletta. Citing caselaw and prior decisions he personally obtained, Mr. Corletta argued that the police failure to serve the Supporting Deposition on him directly, as opposed to the client, was a fatal defect requiring dismissal because once a client is represented, everything must be served on the client's lawyer. Mr. Corletta provided the Court with ample caselaw in support of this position in a written Memorandum.

          The Court agreed, dismissing the charge, thereby saving the client’s license from a certain suspension. The client, who drives for purposes of employment, was understandably grateful for Mr. Corletta’s prompt intervention.
