People v. LC
Our Client was charged with Felony Unlawful Use of a Weapon by a Convicted Felon. Our Client had 3 prior Felony convictions and this case was his second gun case as a convicted felon. He was facing up to 14 years in prison. The police pulled over a vehicle that our Client was driving for a minor traffic violation. A subsequent investigation revealed that a passenger in the vehicle was a gang member. Our Client was on parole at the time and was arrested for having contact with a gang member while being on parole. The police searched the vehicle and found a loaded gun in the center console. Our Client allegedly made a statement admitting ownership of the gun. We litigated a Motion to Suppress Evidence which was denied and set the case for trial. The prosecution made an offer of 7 years in prison on the day of trial. Our Client rejected that offer, and we had a conference with the judge. Despite our Client's damaging background we were able to convince the Judge to offer our Client the minimum sentence allowed under the law.

Even though our Client was facing 2-5 years in prison, we conferenced the case with the judge.

We got our Client credit for all the time he had served and our Client was home 2 days after accepting the deal!
