Welcome to the WADIB! For too long, prosecutors have had the upper hand in coordinating their knowledge to prepare for motions or trial. With this blog, defense attorneys across Washington State can add information that will assist each other's case strategies and cross-examination.This blog is desgined for sharing information on: 1) officers (e.g. Trooper X says "I always follow people looking for a DUI" or "Officer Z is no longer employed with the WSP; he's moved to California after a brutality complaint") that can then be used in future proceedings as impeachment evidence; 2) court rulings (e.g. "Judge A. has reversed herself and is now limiting HGN to consumption only") so we know what's going on when appearing in unfamiliar territory; and 3) procedural information (e.g. "talk to Mr. J at Costco if you want a compromise of misdemeanor", or "here's the best # for getting a real person at DOL") that will make everyone's practice easier and save time.
For posting purposes, please label your comments in one of the following ways:
* General Information (regarding blog)
* Officers
* Court Rulings
* Procedural Help
Please be specific regarding the particular court, judge, officer, and date/time of hearing (in case someone wants to order the CD record for later use).Please don't use this blog for openly suggesting specific strategies (remember this blog is public), random topics, humorous observations, or pats on the back.
Also, this is not a forum for posting questions to things you don't know (e.g. "what is Judge T. doing on QAPs before 8001?") - go ahead and simply post "Judge T. is suppressing all BACs if the solution is 8001 or earlier." That way, the information is shared and no one has to ask.
The WADIB is strictly a place for information.
