Charges against Massachusetts lawyer dismissed on police misconduct grounds.

Lawrence District Docket No. 03-7912. After an evidentiary hearing Mr. Neyman succeeded in convincing a judge to dismiss all charges against a local attorney charged with drunk driving, assaulting a police office and resisting arrest. During the hearing Mr. Neyman was able to prove that the defendant was not drunk, had not operated the car, never struck the police officers and never resisted the arrest. In a lengthy decision castigating the responsible police officers the District Court Judge held “regrettably, in this case all of the training, all of the policies and all of the professionalism failed. The numerous violations of the defendant’s statutory and constitutional rights by the …police on the evening in question…cannot be justified and in fact must be called into question. They leave no effective alternative remedy but to dismiss the complaint in its entirety”.
