People v. DH
Client was charged with Felony Armed Habitual Criminal and Unlawful Use of a Weapon - Convicted Felon. The Police got a search warrant for our Client's residence. However, the search warrant said our Client lived in a single family home, and this wasn't true. The home was broken up into separate apartments with separate doorways, separate utilities and even separate gates locking the entry ways. The police did not find any guns or ammo in our Client's apartment. However, they did find what they claimed to be a gun in the attic of the building. The Police also claimed to have found a set of pistol grips that matched the gun from the attic on our Client's bed. As unbelievable as all that sounds, the prosecution insisted on prosecuting the case all the way. We set the case for trial and produced a firearms test for the prosecution which showed that the gun the police allegedly found wasn't a gun at all but a TOY. They had no choice but to dismiss all the charges.

They failed to stop the individual on foot, but were successful in stopping our Client. As they approached our Client, he allegedly tossed a hairbrush in the back seat. Officers stated that they noticed a cup with dark colored liquid in the center console. When asked about it, our Client supposedly said "I'm just sippin' some Remy." They asked our Client out of the vehicle and recovered the hairbrush. While examining the hairbrush, officers noticed a secret compartment inside the brush which contained over 60 bags of narcotics. The drugs field tested positive for heroin and were sent to the Illinois State Police Crime lab where testing came back positive for over 10 grams of heroin (Street Value - approximately $1,000).
