Drivers sue over trooper's tainted DUI arrests
If you have gotten a DUI conviction that was later thrown out, you have to read this article that I just found posted at the Seattle Times.
Trooper Keith Jordan once testified in court that he had made nearly 150 drunken-driving arrests in a year. In 2003, 65 cases handled by Trooper Keith Jordan were dismissed by Mark Roe, Snohomish County's chief criminal prosecutor, because Jordan had cut and pasted blocks of information from one report to another. In some reports, Jordan had even forgotten to change a name when he copied a paragraph, Roe said. Now at least four of those people are sueing over this.
