People v. J.A.
May 14, 2014OUTCOME: Not Guilty
In 2012, J.A. and his codefendant, the shooter, were charged in a six-count indictment for Attempt Murder, Aggravated Battery, Attempt Armed Robbery, and Aggravated Discharge Firearm. J.A. was represe ... nted by attorney Robert Kerr. The shooter pled guilty, but J.A. rejected the State's offer and demanded trial. At trial, the State's witnesses testified that J.A. brought the shooter and the gun to the shooting, that J.A. and the shooter discussed a robbery before the shooting, that and that J.A. fled the scene with the shooter. Robert Kerr cross-examined the State's witnesses and argued for findings of not guilty to all six counts. J.A. did not testify or call any witnesses in his own defense.
