Osborne v. District of Columbia

Fisher, Associate Judge:

Appellant Jeremy J. Osborne was convicted of operating a motor vehicle after his driver’s license had been revoked (“OAR”). At his bench trial, Mr. Osborne presented evidence that he had not received notice informing him of the revocation before his arrest. Mr. • Osborne contends that, under these circumstances, the District was obligated to show that it had sent him notice before he could be convicted of OAR. We clarify the legal standard that applies and remand the case for a new trial.
