DWI cases to be reviewed, maybe dismissed - 1 ouf 83 dropped
Drunk driving criminal defense lawyers
A first of its kind appeal was heard in New Hanover County, North Carolina court Tuesday.
A DWI / dui case from last January is being appealed by the District Attorney's office.
The case is one of 83 in the county that had been dismissed because magistrates booking DWI / drunk driving suspects didn't submit a required form.
If the District Attorney's office wins the appeal dozens of cases thrown out earlier in the year may be prosecuted in court after all.
