People v. JP
Client was charged with multiple counts of Attempt Armed Robbery with a Firearm and Aggravated Unlawful Restraint. The alleged Victims claimed that our Client, along with 2 other Offenders, approached, displayed a handgun and announced "This is a robbery!" The Victims allegedly fled the scene while the Offenders discharged the firearm and chased after them. One of the Victims allegedly was caught, and beaten on the ground. The other Victim flagged down police officers. The Police toured the area and discovered our Client, and arrested him. We took our Client's case to trial. There was no identification of our Client. The Prosecution could not prove our Client was one of the Perpetrators of the crime because the alleged Assailants were wearing face masks and hoodies so no positive identification could be made. No gun was recovered. In fact, a GSR (gun shot residue) test was performed, and the results were negative for discharge of a firearm which is in direct contradiction to what the Victims claimed. Our Client did not have any proceeds from the alleged Robbery. There was no physical evidence connecting our Client to the crime and the verdict was NOT GUILTY!

Police were responding to a call of shots fired with a description of 2 people running from the scene. Our Client was seen running from the scene with another individual. At trial, the Officer testified that he saw the other individual give the gun to our Client. Our Client then allegedly tried to hide under a car and push the gun away. We successfully argued that our Client had no choice other than to briefly possess the gun when the other individual threw it our Client and did what anyone would do and tried to immediately get rid of it. The Judge agreed stating that our Client had 2 choices: 1.) Get rid of the gun or 2.) Keep the gun, and risk getting shot by the police officers who were arriving. Our Client made the right choice, didn't get shot and was found not guilty!
