People v. AG
TheClient was charged with Felony Manufacturing and Delivery of a Controlled Substance. The Police alleged that they saw our Client talking to someone in a double parked car. According to the police, this meant she was engaged in a drug transaction. They claim they saw her adjusting the waistband of her pants. They felt they had enough to stop and search her. They allegedly recovered narcotics from her waistband. What they forgot to mention in any of the reports is that our Client was VERY pregnant at the time. (which explains why she would be adjusting the waistband of her pants). We filed a Motion to Quash Arrest and Suppress Evidence claiming that the Police violated our Client's rights when they searched her simply for talking to someone in a vehicle and adjusting her pants. The Judge agreed, and the case was dismissed.

Our Client was charged with Felony Aggravated Criminal Sexual Assault. If convicted, our Client was facing up to 40 years in prison. The Victim alleged that the perpetrator approached from behind while she was entering her building on her way home from work. The assailant allegedly robbed the Victim at gunpoint taking her purse. After taking her purse, the Victim alleged that perpetrator unzipped his pants and forced his penis into her mouth. After forcing the Victim to perform oral sex, it was alleged that the offender demanded that the Victim remove her panties. While distracting the perpetrator, the Victim screamed for help from her neighbors, and the perpetrator fled the scene. Although the Victim identified our Client as the offender in this case, her story fell apart under cross examination and close scrutiny. The Victim never told the initial responding police officers about the alleged sexual assault. When pressed on this issue, the Victim claimed that she did tell the officers about the sexual assault, but they ignored her and refused to document it. The Victim never sought medical attention for the alleged sexual assault. The Victim's story was contradicted at critical points by her neighbor. After a vigorous trial, there could only be one verdict: NOT GUILTY!
