The Case of the Sidewalk Absconder
Diane O’Kane represented a defendant charged with possession of crack. The defendant had been originally stopped by police for the violation of not walking on a sidewalk. The defendant’s walking partner, only known as “Hard Hat,” was a witness to the arrest.
Investigator Harry Johnson canvassed the area where the arrest took place, finding and identifying an individual known to everyone as “Hard Hat,” a homeless man who lived in the area, who always wore a hard hat. “Hard Hat’s” version of events was able to support a motion to suppress, which eventually resulted in the case dismissal.
