Our Client was charged with Aggravated Criminal Sexual Abuse. He was facing a significant prison sentence and have to register as a sex offender. It was alleged that our Client pinned his teenage step daughter down on the bed and got on top of her rubbing his erect penis between her legs. The child's mother allegedly walked in before things went any further. The prosecution made several offers to resolve the case without going to trial, but they all included our Client having to register as a sex offender. We rejected the offers and took the case to trial. At trial we were able to prove inconsistencies in the child's and mother's stories. We showed the Court that the story began as one thing and evolved to something worse each and every time is was retold. Our Client was found Not Guilty!

Our Client was charged with Felony Possession of a Controlled Substance. Officers alleged that they stopped our Client for driving the wrong way down a one-way street. The testifying officer claimed to have seen our Client reach into his pocket and stuff a golf ball size bag of narcotics into his mouth and begin to chew and swallow it. The testifying officer stated that he grabbed our Client at which point the bag exploded and several small bags flew out of our Client's mouth into the passenger compartment of the car. The problem with the officer's testimony was that he said he saw our Client pull this golf ball sized item out of his pocket while our Client was seated in the driver's seat of a Hummer and the Officer, who admitted to being only 5'3" stood outside. At 5'3", there is no way for the officer to make the observation he claimed to have made because of the size of the vehicle. All charged were dismissed at the Preliminary Hearing.
