Burden of proof: not met
News, Bad Drivers, Political ·Friday May 29, 2009 @ 19:33 EDT (link)
Today the forces of good triumphed: my lawyer, Jeannie Mucklestone, P.S. got my bogus "following too closely" case dismissed in King County court at 0945 yesterday because the government failed to meet their burden of proof (after my lawyer's motion to suppress was granted). If I had been following too closely, the twit in front of me certainly would have deserved it, trolling along at about 20 mph in a 30 zone (right through Duvall town center when people are driving home from work), on Monday March 23 at 1950. One for the little guy, zero for big government (although they get plenty of my money in myriad other ways, so it's a bit hollow). Ticket would be $124.50; lawyer cost $350; insurance increase, who knows, but more than the difference.
