If You Already Entered “Conditional
Plea”
If you have
already entered a “conditional
plea”, contact your attorney to follow up on the effect
the Supreme Court’s decision (new case law) will have on
your case. If you do not have an attorney, or if your attorney
recommends that you consult an attorney that made the new case
law, contact New
Jersey DWI attorney Bartholomew Baffuto, Esq. for a consultation.
There may be something you can do depending on the evidence for
conviction.
You may be able to go back to the municipal court
where you were convicted and try the case. You may have an opportunity
to reverse your conviction. If you have a chance to fight it,
you should fight it with a top DWI attorney. Otherwise, you are
wasting a great chance! If you have a chance to go back to the
municipal court and try the case again, you should plan well
ahead and do it right. Contact
New Jersey DWI attorney Bartholomew Baffuto, Esq. to discuss
your options
If you pled guilty and were sentenced but
sentence was stayed (i.e., you did not pay fines and your driving
privilege was not
suspended), a so-called “Chun stay”, you will receive
a notice to return to court for execution of sentence.
On March 17, 2008 Chun stays ended because the Supreme Court
decided the Alcotest litigation. Now, you decide. My clients
will go to court to demand a trial; not for execution of sentence.
