Police testimony sparks dozens of deals, some dismissals in Nassau DWI cases

Nassau judges agreed to reduce or dismiss charges in more than 60 criminal cases — many involving drunken driving allegations — after District Attorney Madeline Singas' office disclosed to other defendants that police testimony in a 2017 drunken-driving case was "inconsistent" with video of the arrest. This video of that Greenvale arrest surfaced after the attorney for the defendant shared it with prosecutors in 2018.
