People v. MG
Our Client was charged with Felony Aggravated Criminal Sexual Assault. If convicted, our Client was facing up to 40 years in prison. The Victim alleged that the perpetrator approached from behind while she was entering her building on her way home from work. The assailant allegedly robbed the Victim at gunpoint taking her purse. After taking her purse, the Victim alleged that perpetrator unzipped his pants and forced his penis into her mouth. After forcing the Victim to perform oral sex, it was alleged that the offender demanded that the Victim remove her panties. While distracting the perpetrator, the Victim screamed for help from her neighbors, and the perpetrator fled the scene. Although the Victim identified our Client as the offender in this case, her story fell apart under cross examination and close scrutiny. The Victim never told the initial responding police officers about the alleged sexual assault. When pressed on this issue, the Victim claimed that she did tell the officers about the sexual assault, but they ignored her and refused to document it. The Victim never sought medical attention for the alleged sexual assault. The Victim's story was contradicted at critical points by her neighbor. After a vigorous trial, there could only be one verdict: NOT GUILTY!

The police claimed that they stopped our Client because he parked his car in an ally in such a way that he was blocking the flow of traffic. When they asked for his license, he was only able to produce an ID card. When the police ran his name, they learned that his license was revoked. All charges were dismissed at the Preliminary Hearing.

People v. LS
Our Client was charged with Felony Residential Burglary (a non-probationable offense). Our Client was allegedly caught red handed burglarizing his neighbor's house when his neighbor came home. Our Client's neighbor immediately called the Police and identified our Client as the person who burglarized his house. Although the charged offense is usually non-probationable, we successfully convinced the Judge to offer our Client a special type of probation that includes drug treatment. If our Client successfully completes every aspect of the probation, there will be no conviction on his record.

It was alleged that our Client along with another individual were going to make a drug deal with the Victim. In exchange for a large amount of money, our Client was going to provide the Victim with a large amount of narcotics. Instead of making good on the deal, the Victim claimed that our Client pistol whipped him unconscious. Then our Client and another individual dragged, robbed and kidnapped the Victim in a van, and drove the Victim to a remote location on the West Side of Chicago. Once there, our Client helped drag the Victim out of the van, and the other individual shot the Victim in the head at point blank range. The Victim lived, and identified both our Client and the other individual to police as the perpetrators of this crime. The Prosecution had offered our Client a deal of 31 years in prison in exchange for a plea of guilty. We rejected that offer and took our Client's case to trial. THE VERDICT WAS NOT GUILTY ON ALL CHARGES!
