City of Westland v. Benjamin

Oct 08, 2013

OUTCOME: NOT GUILTY

On October 8, 2013, Attorney Michael Kelly, of Kelly & Kelly, P.C., successfully convinced a jury in the 18th District Court for the County of Wayne, in Westland, Michigan, that our client was innocent ... . The case involved a young man who was intoxicated while riding as a passenger in his own vehicle, which was then in an accident. The driver of the vehicle had fled the scene immediately after the accident. The only person identified at the scene by witnesses was our client. The police did not search for the other occupant. Attorney Michael Kelly prevented the government from turning a “drunk man” into a “drunk driver!”
