Boston Clerk’s Hearing Report
JURISDICTION: Salem District Court
CASE NAME:
Withheld
CASE DETAILS:
The defendant was alleged to have committed the following offenses:
1. Unlawfully Attaching Motor Vehicle License Plate
2. Motor Vehicle Registration Violation
3. Unlawfully Abandonment of a Motor Vehicle
The application for the criminal complaint alleged that the defendant unlawfully abandoned her motor vehicle in a Shaw’s parking lot. Further, the application alleged that the defendant then illegally attached an invalid license plate to a separate vehicle, so that two motor vehicles had the same invalid license plates attached thereto.
Therefore, the defendant was required to attend a clerk’s hearing at Salem District Court so that a clerk magistrate could determine whether probable cause existed to issue a criminal complaint for said offenses.
Massachusetts Criminal Defense Lawyer successfully argued that the criminal complaint should not issue.
DISPOSITION:
Application for criminal complaint denied. Therefore, no record of the allegations shall appear on the defendant’s CORI.
