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.

One member of the group brandished a machete and placed it on the back of the neck of one of the victims. Another of the group took a hat from one of the Victims. The Victims stated that the group demanded to know what gang the 2 Victims were in. When the Victims replied that they were not in a gang and tried to defend themselves, the individual with the machete began to violently swing the machete striking one of the victims several times in the head - severely injuring him. Our Client placed himself between the machete wielding assailant and the Victim in an attempt to stop the attack. The entire incident was caught on video surveillance.
