Joseph’s attorneys on Jan. 10 filed a motion asking the court to dismiss both of these charges.
The motion disputes claims that Joseph’s license was not valid.
Attorneys allege that Joseph had a valid license issued in Mexico where he resided before arriving in the United States.
“No evidence that Defendant’s license was invalid at the date of the accident has been supplied to defense but the State,” the motion states.
A judge has not yet ruled on the motion.
