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!

People v. AL
Our Client was charged with 3 separate cases: A Felony Residential Burglary, An Attempt Felony Residential Burglary and a Felony Possession of a Controlled Substance. He was facing up to 15 years in prison if he was convicted. It was alleged that our Client broke into someone's house and stole a digital camera, laptop, iphone, wallet, credit cards and a bookbag. While inside the house, he was confronted by the owner and chased away. Our Client was also caught on camera in another instance attempting to break into another person's house. After unsuccessfully trying to break into the house, he committed multiple acts of vandalism and destruction of the Victim's property. He was picked out in a line-up for that incident. Finally, our Client was also stopped police after they were alerted that he was trying to pick-pocket some people. When they searched him, they found 22 bags of narcotics. Although the case went beyond the Preliminary Hearing Stages we were able to convince the Judge to go along with TASC probation for our Client over the Prosecution's strenuous objection. TASC probation is a special kind of probation that includes drug treatment. If our Client successfully completes the probation, he is eligible to have his convictions vacated and avoid having these felonies remain on his permanent record.

Our Client was charged with Felony Unlawful Use of a Weapon by a Convicted Felon. He had 5 prior Felony Convictions. The Police served a search warrant on our Client's house. Our Client was the target of the Search Warrant. When the Police searched the house, they recovered a firearm under a bed. The police claimed that they knew the bedroom where the gun was recovered from belonged to our Client because they found some mail bearing our Client's name and a Social Security Card belonging to our Client in the same bedroom. Therefore, according to the Police, the gun must've belonged to our Client. Although, there were multiple other individuals present, our Client was not present at the time the Police were searching the house and was only arrested weeks later. The Prosecutors offered the maximum sentence of 7 years in prison to settle the case. Naturally, we rejected that offer and took our Client's case to trial. The verdict was Not Guilty.
