Syllabus

Trial court did not abuse its discretion when it denied defendant's motion to dismiss premised on the State's failure to provide officer training records and radar device calibration records where the defendant submitted public records requests but did not submit any written discovery requests to the prosecutor. Testimony of the deputy is sufficient to establish the calibration of the radar and his qualification to operate it, and is sufficient to support defendant's conviction for speeding. Osowik. Zmuda, J., writing separately, concurs with the majority's decision affirming appellant's conviction for traffic offense but for different reasons. I would find that the State violated a discovery order but the trial court did not abuse its discretion in denying appellant's motion to dismiss.
