People v. DS

Our Client was charged with Felony Armed Robbery with a Firearm.  He was facing a minimum of 21 years in prison all the way up to 45 years in prison.  It was alleged that our Client, and an accomplice, arranged to sell a laptop at a substantially reduced rate on craigslist.  The victim claimed that when he arrived to make the deal, he inspected the laptop, and discovered it to be a block of wood cleverly disguised to look like a laptop.  The victim allegedly tried to back out of the deal, and it was at that point that our Client's accomplice allegedly pulled a gun, and took the money anyways.  The prosecution was offering 15 years in prison.  We took our Client's case to trial, and the verdict was Not Guilty of Armed Robbery with a Firearm!
