BERLIN – The Appellate Court of Maryland will convene in March to hear oral arguments regarding the dismissal of charges against Tyler Mailloux.
Last Friday, the Appellate Court of Maryland denied a motion from the Office of the Attorney General seeking to advance oral arguments in the appeals case involving Mailloux, a local man who was charged earlier this year in the hit-and-run death of 14-year-old Gavin Knupp. The motion, unopposed by Mailloux’s legal counsel, asked the court to move its argument date from the March 2024 session to the February 2024 session and to set a corresponding due date of Jan. 22 for a reply brief.
“Given the importance of the jurisdictional issues in this case, and given that Gavin Knupp’s tragic death occurred almost seventeen months ago, the State respectfully requests that this Court advance argument in this case to the February 2024 session of this Court,” the motion reads.
In April, 17 traffic charges – including failure to immediately stop at the scene of an accident involving bodily injury and failure to immediately stop a vehicle at the scene of an accident involving death – were filed against Mailloux, 23, of Berlin, in the death of Knupp last July.
Knupp was struck and killed by a motorist in a black Mercedes while crossing Greys Corner Road on July 11, 2022. Knupp was returning to a vehicle driven by his older sister and died from injuries sustained in the collision. Mailloux allegedly fled the scene and did not return, according to charges filed. Six days after the incident, the Mercedes identified as the vehicle in the collision was seized from a local home.
he will walk money talks
23 years old driving a mercedes and has a public defender! what’s wrong with this picture?
If drunk driving was taken more seriously by the government🙄,,,, but they all are allowed their leeway to do as they wish, then get annoyed when asked to take a breath or blood test because of who they are,
what powers they can conceive at a wisk of their magic wand, are they really above the law that controls the rest of us? Why are drunk drivers allowed to slide the first second, third and fourth DUI DWI? This guy KILLED a child, is money actually being pocketed to prevent him from paying for his crime (seems so), has a promise of future government seating positions been laid out (hmm), is this how the American judicial government relents over its powers for those of means? Why is the court giving this killer a free ride?
