"Obviously, I would have preferred this result when I originally filed the Motion. Nevertheless, persistence paid off and I am pleased that Rule 600(E) was followed." Trial is set to begin on March 7.

Agreement reached with DOC for tour of SCI-Dallas
February 8, 2011
Wilkes-Barre Criminal Lawyer David Lampman reaches agreement with the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections to view the scene of an alleged crime at State Correctional Institute Dallas. The Defendant in this case is charged with assault by a prisoner. According to the Affidavit of Probable Cause the Defendant spit in the face of a corrections officer while knowing he is infected with hepatitis-B.
The agreement developed once Lampman filed a Motion to View the crime scene. "I always visit the alleged crime scene because I think it is important to gain personal knowledge about the location. Invariably it leads to key points for cross-examination. It is especially important in this case; however, requesting a view of a state prison raises several legal issues. I was pleased the DOC consented to my Motion to view SCI-Dallas."
