‘State v. Cassidy’ watch: Oral arguments to address special master’s findings scheduled
The New Jersey Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in September on the issue of whether the special master’s findings and conclusion that the failure to properly test and calibrate an Alcotest machine undermined the scientific reliability of breath tests subsequently performed on the machine. The New Jersey State Bar Association (NJSBA) submitted an amicus curiae brief recommending the state take corrective action, that the matters be handled routinely by a municipal court judge sitting in the affected municipality and that the state proactively notify defendants affected by the faulty Alcotest administration. The brief on behalf of the NJSBA was written by Arnold N. Fishman, Jeffrey E. Gold and Miles S. Winder III.
