OUTCOME: NOT GUILTY

Criminal Jury Trial Victory. Justin Strassburg represented the defendant in a prosecution for prostitution 647(b). The case involved an undercover investigation of prostitution at a massage parlor. A v ... ice operation was performed by a team of 9 police officers from the LAPD. Mr. Strassburg's cross-examination of the main vice detective discredited him in front of the jury: particularly concerning his recollection of the conversation with the defendant, and his failure to use an audio recording device during the operation. After deliberating for only 1 hour and 15 minutes, the jury reached a unanimous verdict of "NOT GUILTY." After the trial, out in the hallway of the Court, the jurors voiced their displeasure with the Los Angeles City Attorney's office, calling the prosecution of this case "outrageous" and "ridiculous."
