Attorney Jeffrey Charles Dean's Legal Cases

Criminal defense

Indecent Exposure

N/A

OUTCOME: Not Guilty

Police conducted a sting operation at Crosby Park following complaints of sexual activity in the park. The sting operation was conducted using an undercover officer posing as a person seeking sex. Clie ... nt was charged with indecent exposure after he allegedly sexually touched the undercover officer. Jeff Dean argued at trial that the police action of pretending to be sexually interested in his client was entrapment. Mr. Dean said further that the officer invited his client’s touch, and that a consensual touch, unseen by others, cannot be a crime. The jury agreed with Mr. Dean on all points and found his client not guilty.

Aiding an Offender

N/A

OUTCOME: Client was acquitted in just 90 minutes

Client charged with aiding an offender for being an accomplice to a person who allegedly shot four people. In his investigation of the case, Jeff Dean determined that the prosecutor had likely identifi ... ed the wrong person as the gunman. Mr. Dean successfully argued at trial that it is impossible to be an accomplice to a person who committed no crime. Mr. Dean won a not guilty verdict for Client by establishing a reasonable doubt as to whether the alleged gunman had in fact committed the crime.

Criminal defense

Prostitution

N/A

OUTCOME: Conviction reversed outright

Client, a masseuse, was convicted of prostitution following a sting operation by an undercover police officer posing as a customer. The undercover officer improperly engaged in sexual contact with Clie ... nt when conducting the sting. Jeff Dean appealed Client’s conviction arguing that the officer’s conduct of engaging in sexual contact with Client violated her due process rights, thus requiring reversal of the conviction. The Court of Appeals agreed with Mr. Dean and reversed her conviction outright.

Violent crime

Murder and Manslaughter

N/A

OUTCOME: The jury acquitted his client on all counts

Client charged with murder and manslaughter. The police said that the client confessed the murder to them. A witness testified that she saw the client shoot the victim. The gun belonged to the client, ... it was recovered at the crime scene, and his fingerprints were on the gun. The client was at the crime scene at the time of the shooting. The case appeared so strong for the state that the prosecutors would not plea bargain to a sentence less than the sentencing guidelines. After an extensive forensic investigation, Jeff Dean determined that the physical evidence contradicted the witness’ story. Mr. Dean argued that the witness herself had committed the murder.

DUI and DWI

DWI

N/A

OUTCOME: Charges Dismissed

Client was charged with DWI after the police found client intoxicated and sleeping in his car. Jeff Dean argued that the case should be dismissed because the evidence was insufficient to prove that his ... client had physical control over the vehicle. The Judge agreed with Mr. Dean and dismissed the charges.
