Well, for one prominent criminal defense attorney, his persistence in his pursuit of justice paid off when a Clackamas County judge dismissed his year-old speeding ticket.

Mark Cogan was cited by a photo-radar unit in a suburb close to  Milwaukie for driving 15 miles per hour over the limit.  Eventually, Mr. Cogan was found guilty at trial.   The matter was appealed and ultimately dismissed on a technicality.
