People v. DH
Client was charged with Felony Armed Habitual Criminal and Unlawful Use of a Weapon - Convicted Felon. The Police got a search warrant for our Client's residence. However, the search warrant said our Client lived in a single family home, and this wasn't true. The home was broken up into separate apartments with separate doorways, separate utilities and even separate gates locking the entry ways. The police did not find any guns or ammo in our Client's apartment. However, they did find what they claimed to be a gun in the attic of the building. The Police also claimed to have found a set of pistol grips that matched the gun from the attic on our Client's bed. As unbelievable as all that sounds, the prosecution insisted on prosecuting the case all the way. We set the case for trial and produced a firearms test for the prosecution which showed that the gun the police allegedly found wasn't a gun at all but a TOY. They had no choice but to dismiss all the charges.
