People v. CW
Our Client was charged with Unlawful Use of a Weapon by a Convicted Felon. The Police had a search warrant for our Client's house. When the police arrived they found that there was a party going on at the house. There were allegedly 30 - 50 people present including our Client. After detaining everyone, the police searched the house and claimed to find a handgun in the kitchen and bullets in the bedroom. We took our Client's case to trial. We argued that there was no way the police could show who the gun and who the bullets belonged to. We argued that "a 1 and 50 chance that our Client possessed either the bullets or the gun is NOT proof of guilt beyond a reasonable doubt!" The judge agreed. Our Client was found not guilty on all counts!
People v. CM
Our Client was charged with slicing one Victim in the face with a knife causing injury and permanent scarring and battering another Victim with a bag of garbage. The prosecutors were offering jail time only. We rejected the offer and took our Client's case to trial. At trial the prosecution was not able to prove the battering of Victim #2 with a bag of garbage and the verdict was not guilty. We were also able to prove that our Client was acting in Self Defense when he cut Victim #1. As a result the verdict was NOT GUILTY on all counts!!!
People v. JG
Our Client was charged with Felony Driving on a Revoked or a Suspended License. Officers claimed that they witnessed our Client driving a vehicle at night without the headlights on. As a result, they pulled our Client over. Our Client was not able to produce a driver's license or insurance. The Officers ran our Client's name through the computer system and learned that our Client's license had been revoked for a prior DUI and that he had 3 prior convictions for driving on a suspended license. All charges were dismissed at the Preliminary Hearing.
People v. JP - Felony Possession of a Controlled Substance
Our Client was charged with Felony Possession of a Controlled Substance. Our Client was driving a vehicle thru and alley and was pulled over for allegedly using the alley as a thru-way. The Police claim that after giving them his driver's license and insurance, our Client allegedly told them "I have some dope on me." The Police ordered our Client out of the vehicle and recovered narcotics from his person. We were able to avoid a prosecution altogether and the charges were dismissed during the Preliminary Hearing Stages of the case.
People v. KJ - Felony Forgery & Identity Theft
Our Client was charged with 4 Violations of Felony Probation, Forgery and Identity Theft. He was facing a significant prison sentence of 3-7 + 2-10 years for a total of 5-17 years in prison. It was alleged that our Client used his employer's personal information to obtain credit to purchase a vehicle. The dealership provided the police with the fraudulent documents after contacting the victim who confirmed that our Client did not have permission to use the information to purchase a vehicle. We had a conference with the Judge and convinced him to offer a minimum sentence of 3 years giving our Client credit for more than half of the time.
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!
