| Consolidated Implied Consent and DWI Source Code Cases |
As you know, the Minnesota Supreme Court consolidated implied consent and DWI source code cases and assigned First Judicial District Court Judge Abrams. The Supreme Court’s order is available on the MCAA website. It allows criminal DWI cases to be consolidated with agreement of the prosecutor and defendant. Judge Abrams is requiring prosecutors to use the attached form. Even if you have already sent notice to the court requesting consolidation, you will need to complete this form.
