People v. JR
Our Client was charged with Vehicular Invasion, Robbery, Aggravated Battery and Unlawful Restraint. If convicted, he faced up to 15 years in prison. The Police alleged that our Client took a ride in a taxi. Once he reached his destination, instead of paying, our Client allegedly robbed the taxi driver. The entire incident was recorded on the taxi's internal camera. Through negotiation, we were able to convince the prosecution to offer the minimum of 4 years in prison. We were not able to negotiate probation for our Client because he had a violent background with several prior felony cases including theft, residential burglaries and robberies. However, we were able to have a conference with the Judge ,and were able to convince her to offer our Client Boot Camp. The Boot Camp program is only 120 days and a far better option than 4 years in prison.

We were able to prove that the bullets that hit the party goers causing injury and death were not fired from the weapon the Police claimed our Client left at the scene. We were also able to poke holes in the prosecution's case, and the Judge was not convinced that our Client was working with the other individuals who were shooting. As a result, our Client was not held accountable for the other shooter's actions and the verdict was Not Guilty.
