NJ DWI SUSPECTS ENTITLED TO ADDITONAL DISCOVERY MATERIAL

In a recent unpublished opinion the Appellate Division in State v. Maricic, A-5247-08, ruled that the state MUST make available repair logs and historical data concerning the Alcotest machine at issue. The significance of this opinion is that the Appellate Division added additional discovery items that a defendant may avail him/herself in defending his/her dwi/dui case. Moreover, the instant decision reversed a previous law division Judge's Order denying said discovery. ANOTHER VICTORY FOR ALL DEFENDANTS CHARGED WITH A DWI/DUI IN THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY (NJ).
