Reply to comment by mission17 in Surge in DWI dismissals under NY ‘discovery’ reform could lead to tragedy: cops by Brolic_Broccoli

Breaking news, defense attorney and plaintiffs don't want to go to trial and claim missing random x document as reason they get off for their alleged crimes. They not asking for the case to be dismiss bc they claim they are innocent but time to bring them to trial lapse under 30.30 bc x doc missing and the people not certified to go to trial.

Yeah, this may be news to you, but that's the job of a defense attorney and how operating within our Constitution has worked since forever. You advocate for your clients by not only attesting to their innocence but also guaranteeing their rights are being protected in the legal process.

A DWI, like any offense, still requires Due Process.
