2020-CT-**** – Racing on the Highway

Our client was charged with Racing on the Highway, a crime that carries a penalty of a mandatory $500 fine and 1 year Driver’s License Suspension. Based upon the evidence received, our attorney sought to depose the officer who witnessed the alleged crime. The officer’s testimony at the deposition offered nothing into the case other than conclusions and guesses, so our attorney filed a Motion to limit the Officer’s testimony to what would be legally permissible in court, so as not to taint the jury with inadmissible evidence to consider. Prior to hearing the Motion, the State offered to reduce the charge to a civil citation with no points added to our client’s DL.
