Heading: Exceptions Relating to Framing of Pre-Hearing Facts

Text: In Exception Nos. 1, 2, and 3, Marcalus addresses the factual circumstances leading to the docketing of the AGC complaint against him. First, in Exception No. 1, Marcalus takes exception to the hearing judge's failure to find that Marcalus told the Officers that Denise asked [Marcalus] for one of his Vicodin pills. We find no indication in the record as to whether Denise requested Vicodin from Marcalus, or whether Marcalus volunteered to give the Vicodin to Denise. The hearing judge found only that Sergeant Garcia recalled Marcalus admitting that he gave the Vicodin to Denise, which Marcalus does not contest. The hearing judge may not have been persuaded, one way or the other, which person initiated the exchange, and we need not determine this ourselves. Exception No. 1 is overruled. In Exception Nos. 2 and 3, Marcalus objects to the hearing judge's failure to find two facts: that Marcalus told the officers that Michelle ... asked [Marcalus] if he would give her one of his Vicodin pills[;] and that Michelle ... suggested to Marcalus that she would give him [fellatio]. We do not find that the facts requested by Marcalus in these two exceptions materially differ from the facts found by the hearing judge. The hearing judge found that Michelle asked Marcalus for Vicodin, and that in response to Marcalus's inquiry as to what was in it for him[,] Michelle stated outright that she would perform fellatio. Exception Nos. 2 and 3 are therefore overruled.
