Re: Conflicting dates on ticket and police eport

Hello,

I can well understand your hopes that an error on

the documents might invalidate the charges. But,

as you probably suspected, this error is not going

to do it.

"Proof" in Court depends upon whether the Court or

jury believes the facts as recounted by the cop.

You have made the same mistake before, putting the

wrong year down, right? Same here. It does not

necessarily follow that this error would convince

the trier of fact that the act did not happen.

Good luck anyway.
