Day in the Legislature

The Senate and House Judiciary committees did not act on any traffic related laws today. The House Judiciary committee killed the bill, which would have eliminated pre-trial diversion by a vote of 7-5. You can watch the video of the testimony at:

You will need to choose the video clips section and select the March 30 video.

The way attorney David Raybin described pre-trial diversion did not sound anything like the pre-trial diversion nastiness we experience as we write 8 page letters of denial that are then reversed by Judges. However, he said it loud and passionately and convinced some legislators.
