Attorney Veronica J. White filed a motion to suppress, arguing that evidence obtained during the stop should be excluded from trial.At the motion to suppress hearing Attorney White challenged the constitutional basis for the stop and scrutinized the procedures law enforcement followed.

When the case was called for trial, the police officers failed to appear. As a result of Attorney White's aggressive pretrial litigation and trial readiness, all charges against Mr. Doe were dismissed without prejudice.
