ACQUITTAL In Injury to a Child Causing Serious Bodily Injury Case
Sep 22, 2017OUTCOME: Verdict of Not Guilty
Client accidentally dropped a toddler from his arms causing a life threatening head injury. The police immediately decided he was lying and within a couple hours so did Children's Medical Center. Soo ... n he was arrested for a first degree felony. When I met my client a couple weeks after this happened and learned about his family, the idea that he would do this made no sense. I believed he was telling the truth. I soon consulted with an expert and read thousands of pages of medical journals and texts. By the time we got to trial, we had effectively reconstructed the fall to show why the accident had been so severe as well as pointing out the glaring failures of the investigators and doctors in the case. The jury found him not guilty in 5 hours.
