People v. Ian Eulian and Loinietta Fontaine
Oct 28, 2014OUTCOME: Hung Jury, Mistrial
Mr. Weinrieb and Mr. Schwartz represented a Los Angeles County firefighter and his mother in highly publicized trial -- the case was analyzed on the nightly news each day of trial -- where they were al ... leged to have beaten a woman feeding stray cats in their West Adams neighborhood. Based on a surveillance video of the incident it was widely anticipated in legal circles that both Defendants would be convicted. This did not happen. After a roughly 3 week jury trial the jury announced that it could not reach a verdict on any charge and the judge declared a mistrial. The case is set for retrial in 2015.
