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!
