Kenneth N. Bigham Jr.

In February of 2006, I encountered a prowler / stalker on the back portion of our property. Thie person had been asked to leave the property several times over the course of several weeks, but seemed to be able to find another way in each time. When I confronted him in the back, around three hundred... yards from the house, he stated that he had valentines to deliver to my wife and daughter. I told him that he knew where the front door was, and he did not need to be stalking around after dark. Things got a bit heated, and he stated that he was going to go through me to deliver the flowers. When he reached for something in his jacket pocket, I flipped the shotgun up and fired from the hip, disabling that arm. Three more shots to that side of the body took him to the ground. I was arrested and charged with Murder. Ken and his team immediately went to work, arranging bail so that I would not have to sit in lockup for three years until the trial finally arrived. Many hours and expert witnesses were brought in to help in establishing my self defense reasoning. The prosecution used every trick in the book to make this look like a premeditated hit, as things were dug up from the past that I knew nothing about. When it came down to the eleven days of trial, Ken's team was well prepared to show. that I was indeed acting in self defense, and the jury agreed. They would have done the same thing that I did had they been in my shoes. Thanks, Ken.
