Attorney Steven Joseph Titus's Legal Cases

Criminal defense

State of Wyoming v. M.M. (Campbell County, WY)

Jan 01, 2018

OUTCOME: Felony DUI Dismissed.

M.M. was alleged to have been Driving Under the Influence of a controlled substance (Ambien). This being M.M.’s 4th offense in 10 years required the DUI to be charged with a Felony. M.M. after being di ... sappointed in the results of the Public Defender’s Office retained Mr. Titus to take over his case. Mr. Titus immediately realized that this was a case of “automatism” and M.M. was thus likely a “Zombie Driver.” Mr. Titus retained an expert out of Colorado to review M.M.’s case and the expert authored a report that concluded that M.M., in no way, could have been conscious at the time of the DUI. Mr. Titus was then able to convince the Campbell County Attorney’s Office that they would not be able to meet their burden at trial. The County Attorney’s Office agreed. The case was therefore dismissed out of Felony court. Disposition: Felony DUI charge dismissed. M.M. plead to a misdemeanor non-DUI traffic offense.

State of Wyoming v. C.H. (Laramie County, Wyoming)

Dec 01, 2017

OUTCOME: Case Dismissed, All Charges Dropped

Charge: Possession of a Controlled Substance and Possession of a Controlled Substance with intent to distribute. Defense: C.H. was driving in Laramie County, Wyoming when he was pulled over for spee ... ding. After a search of the vehicle, the Wyoming State Patrolman discovered approximately 72 pounds of marijuana. Due to this discovery, C.H. was arrested and charged with Felony Possession of a Controlled Substance and Felony Intent to Deliver. Mr. Titus, utilizing his extensive experience of the 4th Amendment, in particular, illegal searches and seizures, realized that the stop was illegal and filed a Motion to Suppress the stop and subsequent search. The following week, the District Attorney’s Office, after reviewing Mr. Titus’ motion and speaking with the Highway Patrolman, dismissed the case and confessed Mr. Titus’ motion.

Criminal defense

State of Wyoming v. B.W. (Weston County, Wyoming)

Dec 01, 2017

OUTCOME: Case Dismissed, All Charges Dropped

Charge: Two counts of First Degree Sexual Abuse of a Minor and one count of Second Degree Sexual Abuse of a Minor Defense: B.W. was charged with three felony counts of sexual abuse of a minor for al ... leged incidents that occurred approximately three years ago. After numerous motion hearings and objections filed by Mr. Titus, the case went before the Court for a pre-trial conference. At the pre-trial conference, Mr. Titus objected to the State’s proposed jury instructions which alleged that the acts of sexual abuse occurred over a seven-year span and the County Attorney’s Office was not able to narrow that timeline down. Mr. Titus’ objection stemmed from the fact that it was a violation of B.W.’s constitutional rights for the State to not have a more precise timeframe when the alleged acts were to have occurred. The Court agreed. The State dismissed the case.
