OUTCOME: Guilty of murder but spared the death penalty.
This was Juan's first of 3 trials for the same murder (one reversal, one new trial based on new DNA testing). I was in the office about a year when I was chosen to sit 3rd chair on this high-profile c ... ase.
OUTCOME: Acquitted of second degree murder
A case of self-defense that never should have been prosecuted. It didn't hurt that the victim wasn't the most sympathetic sort.
OUTCOME: Convicted of armed robbery
He was dubbed the "Wedding Ring Bandit" for sticking up women to rob them of just their wedding/engagement rings, and was suspected of committing a string of such robberies throughout northern IL. He ... was acquitted of one and convicted of another. While Patrick was serving his 8-year sentence, a prisoner in AZ admitted to committing these robberies. After an investigation corroborated that claim, Patrick was released from prison.
OUTCOME: Motion denied
Randall was just a couple of days shy of turning 17 when he was charged in juvenile court with violating his probation. I unsuccessfully challenged Randall's automatic removal from the Juvenile Detent ... ion Center and confinement in the County Jail on his upcoming birthday. On appeal, the 2nd District reversed. However, the IL Supreme Court dismissed the appeal as having been briefed, argued, and ruled upon based on interpretation of an inapplicable statute. In a footnote, Justice Thomas writing for the majority noted that I tried to convince the trial court that its ruling was based on the wrong statute.
