The following checklist may be helpful when organizing your files.
Attorneys can easily adapt the checklist to their own style and print it out.
After the Commonwealth failed to secure their witnesses for trial and the defendant appeared ready to go forward, the trial judge denied the Commonwealth's request for a continuance and dismissed for lack of prosecution. Rather than appeal the dismissal, the Commonwealth simply had the police officer re-apply for new complaints. In order to process each request, please provide a copy of the corresponding Boston Police Incident Report with the tape request. The tape will be available approximately fourteen days from receipt of the request. Once completed, the tapes will only be held at the Public Service Counter for thirty days.
