Convicted of Murder Under Age 18 in Massachusetts?? Important Case Could Affect You! Call Attorney Mark Stevens today 603.893.0261 (24/7)


The Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court issued an important decision that effects the rights of people accused or convicted of first degree murder, where the murder occurred before the defendant was 18 years old.  In Diatchenko v. District Attorney, SJC Case Number 11453, issued December 24, 2013, the Court addressed the effect of the United States Supreme Court decision in Miller v. Alabama, 132 S. Ct. 2455 (2012), which held that the imposition of a sentence of life without possibility of parole on a defendant under age 18 at the time they committed the murder violated the Eighth Amendment's cruel and unusual punishment clause.

Thirty years ago, Diatchenko had been tried and convicted for a stabbing murder in Kenmore square when he was seventeen.  His conviction was affirmed in Commonwealth v. Diatchenko, 387 Mass. 718, 719 (1982). Today the Massachusetts SJC ruled that Miller applies retroactively, and that the imposition of a sentence of life without parole on a defendant under the age of 18 violates Article 26 of the Massachusetts Declaration of Rights.

So, if you have been convicted and sentenced to life without parole in Massachusetts, and you were under 18 on the date of the actual offense, you may be entitled to immediate relief.  Please feel free to contact me for a free case evaluation.

    Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court Limits Cops' Guess-Timony on Driver's Ability to Operate in OUI Cases


    In a decision important to OUI trials in Massachusetts state courts, the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court issued an opinion on Thursday that prohibits cops from testifying that a defendant's "ability to safely operate a motor vehicle was diminished by his or her consumption of alcohol".   This had been, until Thursday's ruling, a common end to the arresting cop's direct testimony.  This police officer opinion has routinely been parroted at the end of the officer's testimony in response to a leading question by the prosecutor, usually it went something like this:

    PROSECUTOR:  "Based on all your observations with the driver, including (the prosecutor then drones about everything the cop has testified about already), were you able to form an opinion that the driver's ability to safely operate a motor vehicle had been diminished by alcohol?"

    COP: "Yes."

    PROSECUTOR:  "And what was that opinion?"

    COP: "Based on (cop then regurgitates all the observations the prosecutor just named) I formed the opinion that the driver's ability to safely operate a motor vehicle had been diminished by alcohol consumption".
        
    This rote question and answer series was prohibited Thursday by the Supreme Judicial Court in the case of Commonwealth v.  Canty, SJC Case No. 11315 (November 6, 2013).  While a cop, or any other witness, can give an opinion that a driver, or any other person, was drunk or intoxicated, a witness cannot express an opinion as to whether a defendant is guilty or innocent.  Where the ultimate issue in an OUI trial is for the trier of fact to determine whether a driver's ability to operate a motor vehicle has been diminished by alcohol, this opinion by the cop was inappropriate.  

    If you have been charged with driving while intoxicated or operating under the influence of alcohol or drugs or both, call Attorney Mark Stevens at 1-603-893-0074 today for a free initial consultation or visit my website at http://www.byebyedwi.com.

    Prepare to Be Hassled This Sunday Night By the Cops

    New Hampshire DWI attorney . It's Super Bowl Weekend!  If you are driving after the Super Bowl, the police will be watching you closely, looking for any reason to stop and hassle you to see if you are DWI or if you have a little weed in your car. In New Hampshire, the police patrol the roads and highways aggressively after the Super Bowl; if you have a light out, an inspection sticker expired or you license is suspended, the cops are likely to stop you and hassle you and your passengers.

    Also, remember the absurd changes that were made in January 2013 to New Hampshire's DWI laws.  Unhappy with the amount of drivers already arrested for drunk driving and driving under the influence of controlled drugs, the New Hampshire legislators have  expanded New Hampshire's DWI law to include driving "under the influence" of "any over the counter drug, or any other chemical, natural or synthetic, which impairs a person's ability to drive".  You can now be prosecuted for driving under the influence of cough syrup or aspirin.

    If you get stopped, you have to give him your license and registration and identify yourself.  Beyond that, the new DWI laws make it more important than ever not to answer a single question a cop asks you after you are stopped.  It may not be wise for you to answer any of a cop's questions about medications. If he is asking you about medications he is already deciding to arrest you; he is getting you to admit to prescription medication use. or now even cough syrup or allergy medicines: any statement has the potential to get you arrested for DWI in New Hampshire now! If they don't know what you have taken don't tell them!  You have the right to a lawyer and the right to remain silent when the police try to question you about anything. Here is an informational video with some hints:


    Lawyer Up! Call me today at 1-603-893-0074 right now! Don't tell them you have a cold, cough or any other illness, don't tell them what you ate, drank, smoked,snorted or swallowed!

    You can plug my cell number into your contacts right now on your cell phone in case you are hassled:
    1-603-785-6458 .  When they start to question you, lawyer up and shut up!

    Tonight's Changes to New Hampshire DWI Laws: More Important Than Ever Not to Answer Cop Questions

    New Hampshire DWI laws . Happy New Years every one. Please celebrate responsibly.

    Effective tonight after midnight, some horrible changes take effect to New Hampshire's DWI laws.  Unhappy with the amount of drivers arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol and controlled drugs, the lawmakers have broadly expanded New Hampshire's DWI law to include driving "under the influence" of "any over the counter drug, or any other chemical, natural or synthetic, which impairs a person's ability to drive".  You can now be prosecuted for driving under the influence of spinach.

    This makes it more important than ever not to answer a single question a cop asks you if you are stopped.  It may be unwise for you to answer any of a cop's questions about medications. If he is asking you about medications he has probably already decided to arrest you; he is getting you to admit to prescription medication use. If they don't know what you have taken don't tell them!  You have the right to a lawyer and the right to remain silent when the police try to question you about anything. You Don't Have to Talk to the Cops! Here is a YouTube video on this subject:


    Lawyer Up! Call me today at 1-603-893-0074 right now! Don't tell them you have a cold, cough or any other illness, don't tell them what you ate, drank, smoked or snorted, and have a Happy New Year!!!

    If You Get Busted for Shoplifting This Weekend, "Zip It!" then Call Salem, NH DWI Lawyer Mark Stevens (24/7) @ 1.603.893.0074

    NH Theft Laws. Merry Christmas everybody!  The holidays are a busy time of year for almost every body.  Sometimes the bad economy, stress, forgetfulness, attention deficit issues, and other factors can cause people to take things out of a store without paying for them.  If you get charged with theft, shoplifitng, willful concealment, or any other type of stealing related charge or charges, your next steps are important ones. 

    First: Know what to do if you get busted.  I suggest that you store my cell number in your phone right now:  1-603-785-6458.  Save it under "Attorney Mark Stevens" so you can find it easy when you need it most.

    Second:  Have cash bail money with you in case you need it to get out.  Also have a ride lined up to pick you up from the police station.

    ThirdDont answer the loss prevention people's questions.  Refuse any efforts they may make to photograph you or videotape you with a pile of stolen stuff.  If they tell you that if you answer their questions and sign a statement that they wont call the cops they are probably lying to you.  Don't buy what they're selling, they are out to get you!

    Fourth:  The cops are coming.  Go along peacefully with them, but don't get chatty with them.  Dont make or sign any statements about the event to the cops.  You will need to give them basic booking information to get released but don't talk about anything that happened in the store.

    Fifth:  Call your lawyer immediately.  1-603-785-6458 24/7 if you get busted.
    I hope that you have a Merry and pepper-spray free Christmas!  But dont hesitate to call me if you dont!

    If the cops want to talk to you it's not to help you; it is to incriminate you! Be quiet.  Watch this video for pointers:

    Arrested for DWI in Salem, New Hampshire ?

    New Hampshire DWI Lawyer. If you drive through Salem, New Hampshire late at night, especially a weekend night, the likelihood of you being stopped for minor traffic violations like "crossing the yellow line", or other minor speeding infractions is very high. If you are pulling out of the state liquor store parking lot on Route 28 you might be stopped just because you look young!  Once you're stopped, you can find yourself facing a DWI arrest, and the draconian New Hampshire DWI penalties that flow from a NH DWI conviction. If the officer asks you questions about drinking, he is trying to get you to incriminate yourself.

    Once the questions about drinking start, you are probably about to get arrested. 

    Choose your actions wisely!  Be polite; don't be a jerk, even if the officer is completely off-base for arresting you in the first place.  Don't cry, bash your head against the cruiser window, tell the cop you want to die, don't call the cops names or tell him he's stupid, or anything else of that nature.  Don't tell him you know important people, that you know a lawyer, or that he is going to be sorry for arresting you.  He's not. 

    You can focus on your defense by remaining silent.  Watch this video for more:



    Remember, when the cops are arresting you, keep your thoughts to yourself.  They can be more helpful to you later. When you leave the police station, the police will give you some important documents.  One is your temporary driver's licese (the pink form) and another tells you what day to go to the 10th Circuit Court in Salem

    Call Attorney Mark Stevens if you've been accused or charged with DWI, driving after suspension, "reckless driving", "aggravated DWI", or any other criminal charges, 24/7 at 1-603-893-0074.

    Crooked Lab Chemist Busted!

    On August 30, 2012, a State Lab in Massachusetts was ordered to be shut down by MA Governor Deval Patrick.  Nearly a month later, an arrest has finally been made.  State police arrested thirty-four-year-old Annie Dookhan of Franklin, Massachusetts, at her home today.  She has been accused of obstruction of justice and pretending to hold a master’s degree in chemistry from the University of Massachusetts.  According to an article published by CNN, “The former chemist has admitted to wrongdoing during her nine-year employment with the Department of Public Health.”  However, Massachusetts officials are left with the sentences of 1,140 people of whom are currently serving time in prison.  Due to the criminal evidence under investigation provided by, or at least partly provided by Dookhan at the time of conviction an approximate figure of around 30,000 drug cases are now under review.  In addition, according to a preliminary investigation Dookhan may have handled 60,000 samples involving drug cases and convictions in the state of Massachusetts from 2003-March 2012. 

    If you've been arrested for DUI, OUI, Aggravated DWI, Shoplifting, or any other criminal charges, Call the Law Office of Mark Stevens. Attorney Stevens is admitted to practice in all New Hampshire and Massachusetts Courts.His practice is devoted entirely (100%) to criminal trials and appeals, with a major concentration in defending clients accused of DWI, Aggravated DWI, DUI, OUI or other allegations of drunk driving or drunk boating.

    Mass State Police Drug Lab Chemist Caught Cheating


    Mass. State Drug Lab Chemist Caught Cheating!

    Crooked lab employee cheated to be "the smartest employee in the lab"? Could this happen where you live? If you live in Massachusetts the answer is yes.

    It's breaking headlines nationally but especially alarming in Massachusetts, where hundreds or thousands of people may have been convicted based on bogus tests conducted and reported by a state drug lab miscreant. This results-oriented chemist was involved and responsible for certifying and testing drug evidence submitted by local police from all over the state of MA used in cases involving trafficking and other drug-related cases. Governor Patrick shut down this lab on August 30th after multiple allegations that one of the lab's chemists responsible for handling and testing the evidence has been tampering with and mishandling evidence since 2003. But don't worry. All the drugs are being reshuffled to a different Massachusetts state lab for testing. Yes, run by the same team of people who make arrests and prosecute the cases. It's got to be fair doesn't it?  

    Have you or a loved one been a victim of this lab? Do you beleive that you may have been wrongfully convicted based on the state lab's "win at all costs" practices? Call Mark Stevens, he will know what to do.Call the Law Offices of Mark Stevens to discuss your case. The consultation is free. Call Attorney Stevens 24/7 at 1-603-893-0074 and schedule your initial case evaluation today.

    Mass. drug lab probe could have far-reaching consequences

    *DWI Roadblocks: Checkpoints this Weekend, Portsmouth & Seacoast Communities*

    The pinnacle of  summer is here and seems to be sizzling up some "heat" in NH's Seacoast Communities. The NH State Police Troop A  with cooperation of the Portsmouth Police Department have announced TWO DWI Checkpoints over the course of the next week. According to recent numbers, the amount of alcohol related incidents resulting in fatalities and personal injury accidents is what prompted the NH State Police and Portsmouth Police Department to apply and receive approval from a Superior Court Petition to conduct these Sobriety Checkpoints. The NH Highway Safety Agency and National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (whom provide federal highway safety funds) approved the Sobriety Checkpoints to be conducted during the week of AUGUST 13th - AUGUST 19th  in Portsmouth and surrounding areas.  An article published by the Portsmouth Patch stated: "NH State Police Troop A Commander Lieutenant Gary Wood and Chief David Ferland of the Portsmouth Police Department have taken an aggressive stance to prevent persons from driving when intoxicated. New Hampshire has some of the most aggressive laws in the country to fight the intoxicated driver and the law enforcement community will use those tools to their full extent."


    DWI Roadblocks

    By New Hampshire DWI Lawyer Mark Stevens 1-603-893-0074


    New Hampshire DUI Lawyer. RCTV's Q&A Episode 5 is hosted by Kendra Cooper, with guest attorneys Mark Stevens and Jay Milligan. They delve into discussions of the procedures and legal issues from DWI roadblocks.

    The following is from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration ("NHTSA")'s manual used in police training titled "DWI Detection and Standardized Field Sobriety Testing" (February 2006 Edition):

    Procedures for Walk and Turn Testing:

    1. Instructions Stage: Initial Position and Verbal Instructions

    For standardization in the performance of this test, have the suspect assume the heel-toe stance by giving the following verbal instructions, accompanied by demonstrations:
    o "Place your left foot on the line" (real or imaginary). Demonstrate.
    o "Place your right foot on the line ahead of the left foot, with heel of right foot against toe of left foot." Demonstrate.
    o "Place your arms down by your sides." Demonstrate.
    o "Maintain this position until I have completed the instructions. Do not start to walk until told to do so."
    o "Do you understand the instructions so far?"

    2.  Demonstrations and Instructions for the Walking Stage

    Explain the test requirements using the following verbal instructions, accompanied by demonstrations:
    o "When I tell you to start, take nine heel-to-toe steps, turn, and take nine heel-to-toe steps back." (Demonstrate 3 heel-to-toe steps).
    o "When you turn, keep the front foot on the line, and turn by taking a series of small steps with the other foot, like this." (Demonstrate).
    o "While you are walking, keep your arms at your sides, watch your feet at all times, and count your steps out loud".
    o "Once you start walking, don't stop until you have completed the test."
    o "Do you understand the instructions?" (Make sure suspect understands.)
    o "Begin, and count your first step from the heel-to-toe position as "One".

    3. Test Interpretation

    You may observe a number of different behaviors when a suspect performs this test...Look for the following clues each time the One Leg Stand test is administered:
    A. Cannot keep balance while listening to the instructions.
    B. Starts before the instructions are finished..
    C. Stops while walking.
    D. Does not touch heel-to-toe.
    E. Steps off the line.
    F. Does not touch heel-to-toe.
    G. Uses arms for balance.
    H. Improper turn.
    I. Incorrect number of steps.

    If the officer thinks you did two of these eight things wrong, however slightly, you lose. 6 out of 8 on this test, a 75% or "C" on any sort of objective test, is a failure at the roadside and you get arrested. If you can't get an "A" on this you'll be arrested.

    What about the fact that you'll be doing this exercise on ice if you do it in New Hampshire this weekend? It doesn't matter according to the folks at the government who cobble these manuals together. In the same NHTSA manual, at page VIII-11 pronounces the following:

    "Test Conditions"
    Walk-and-Turn test requires a designated straight line, and should be conducted on a reasonably dry, hard, level, non-slippery surface. There should be sufficient room for suspects to complete nine heel-to-toe steps. Note: Recent field validation studies have indicated that varying environmental conditions have not affected a suspect's ability to perform this test"

    • Another thing to watch out for just before any "test" starts is a request by the police to "check your eyes." This sounds pretty innocuous, but it is really just a way to get you to comply with the "testing" that you cannot be forced to do. Logically, why would you want a cop to give you an eye exam in the dark? REMEMBER: YOU CANNOT BE FORCED TO SUBMIT TO THE PEN TEST OR ANY OTHER "FIELD SOBRIETY TESTS" AT THE ROADSIDE!!!!  The police will often say that they would like you to step out of your car "to check and see if you are okay to drive". Once you are asked to step out of your car the chances of you stepping back into it are slim. Think twice before you give the police any evidence to use against you!
    • PREPARATION FOR THE WORST CASE SCENARIO: Try this absurd test on your own at home and see if you can ever pass it. It may help you make a more informed decision when the cops ask you to do it at the roadside, especially in the wintertime. If you are asked to do it, it is highly likely that the officer has already decided to arrest you, and he is now in the evidence gathering stage. Choose whether to incriminate yourself very carefully.


    "Motorists are forewarned that we will make every effort to apprehend drunk drivers and ask that patrons of bars and restaurants in the Seacoast make the right choice: use designated drivers, cabs or call a friend; when you drink and drive you risk your life and put others lives in danger," advised Portsmouth Police Capt. Mike Schwartz in a follow up article released by the Portsmouth Patch regarding the Sobriety Checkpoints  this upcoming week and weekend.

    New Hampshire DWI Laws.   Beware New Hampshire drivers! Beginning today, May 25th and ending at Midnight on Monday May 28th, the Massachusetts and New Hampshire State Police plan on super-saturating all major state roads and highways.  The state police will spread their reach from NH - MA state borders to MA - ME state lines. They are looking to make DWI arrests and drug possession arrests all over New Hampshire and Massachusetts. The police will be swarming in marked and unmarked vehicles and even using airplanes to slow you down.  This is also traditionally a big weekend for police "DWI roadblocks" in New Hampshire, and crackdowns on texting and driving are expected.  
    Extra high visibility patrols will be on I-93 from I-495 in Massachusetts to the Hooksett Toll Booth Plaza in NH and on I-95 in MA up through the ME state border as well. The Department of Transportation is amping up courtesy patrol units on I-93 between Exit 4 and the MA state line with numerous DWI and speeding detail units patrolling the roads all weekend. Extra troopers have been employed especially in Hampton Beach using every extra motorcycle patrol unit available to assist the Hampton Police. In Northeastern Massachusetts, MA State Troopers will be conducting sobriety checkpoints 1 of 3 days this weekend as part of the "Click it or Ticket" Operations initiative, as well as, "multiple saturation patrols," according to Maj. Edward Amodes of the MSP.
