Boston Clerk’s Hearing Report
JURISDICTION: Brookline District Court
CASE NAME:
Withheld
CASE DETAILS:
The defendant was alleged to have committed the following offenses:
1. Leaving Scene of Property Damage Accident
The application for the criminal complaint alleged that the defendant was operating a friend’s motor vehicle, when she crashed into a parked vehicle causing damage. A witness reported to the Brookline Police Department that the defendant and her companion exited their vehicle after the crash; they inspected the damage; then, returned to their vehicle and left the scene without reporting the accident.
Therefore, the defendant was required to attend a clerk’s hearing at Brookline District Court so that a clerk magistrate could determine whether probable cause existed to issue the criminal complaint for Leaving the Scene of a Property Damage Accident.
Citing mitigating circumstances, Massachusetts Criminal Defense Lawyer successfully argued that criminal complaint should not issue.
DISPOSITION:
Application for criminal complaint denied. Therefore, no record of the allegations shall appear on the defendant’s CORI.
