BELFAST — The following cases were closed in Waldo County Criminal Docket from April 17-28. The unified Criminal Docket is a new system for processing criminal actions and certain associated civil violation actions. It is expected to increase efficiency by eliminating the duplicative clerical workload created by the current system of case transfer between the District and Superior courts by reducing the number of court appearances required to process individual cases, according to the State of Maine Judicial Branch.
