OUTCOME: Not Guilty Verdict
A young nursing student was alleged to have purchased two firearms within a five month time span in order to assist her fiancé to plan an assault against two women that were harassing the couple. Afte ... r the co-defendant openned fire on the vehicle the two women were driving, he allegedly handed the gun to her to hide or keep from ever being found. Due to her occupation, she risked losing her training license and the possibility of never being able to become a nurse due to the charges against her. The prosecution’s theory of the assault was largely based on an ongoing feud that centered around a love triangle between the witnesses and defendant. The client was brought to trial on the theories that she aided and abetted the assault with a firearm against two other women in a car during the midnight hours of a cold December evening. After a three-week long jury trial, with over a dozen witnesses that included eye-witnesses and experts on both sides, she was found not guilty by a unanimous verdict and was free to leave that day.

OUTCOME: Jury Deadlock - No Conviction
At the time the client was homeless, he was arrested for PC 211 Robbery with the use of a knife against a patron he crossed paths with on the street one early morning. The client claimed he was merely ... panhandling while the victim claimed it was a clear theft by force. An investigation began to take shape around the client’s psychological background as well as the specific statements given by the victim to police that early morning. By the time the case went to trial, the defense exploited the information given by the victim to police and revealed that his observations were highly biased and outright false. The trial also turned on the mental state of the client at the time of the event in order to judge whether or not there was any aggressive intent or desire to steal. The jurors virtually acquitted the young man with a 11 to 1 vote for not guilty, which unfortunately resulted in a deadlock (hung jury). Had the man been convicted, he could have spent a total of 12 years in state prison for the alleged offense. Instead, an agreement was made to the benefit of the client that resulted in his release from jail with supervised probation.

OUTCOME: Not Guilty Verdict
In the late hours of one particular night in the city, a young man was arrested for allegedly racing another vehicle at a high rate of speed. The officer claimed he had observed two sport-like vehicle ... s travelling down a narrow street at high velocity—which equates to the offense of a Speed Contest (aka: “Street Race”). The car that the young man was driving was found to be illegally modified so as to increase speed and acceleration, which is a common factor in assessing speed contest like vehicles. Upon questioning by police, the young man “confessed” to have been racing the other driver. At trial, the “confession” that was given by the young man while he was questioned. This was done by playing back a recording of the interview of that night to the jury while at the same time cross-examining the arresting officer. What had been revealed was the interrogation-like environment of the interview created the appearance of a confession when in fact reasonable persons could disagree on what had actually happened. The jury deliberated for two and a half days until they unanimously decided to vote not guilty and set the young man free.
