Case Details
Lonnie Dunbar's conviction for operating a cell phone while driving was overturned on appeal. Dunbar was ticketed for tapping the 'answer' button on his phone while wearing a headset. The appellate court agreed there was insufficient evidence to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that he violated Connecticut General Statutes § 14-296aa(b)(1) by 'using' or 'engaging' in a call as defined by the statute.
Additional Notes
Case: State v. Dunbar. Dunbar's testimony that he was activating the call, not engaging in conversation, created reasonable doubt. Attorney Timothy E. Fitzpatrick, Esq. posted about this case.
