He had already done 11 years over his 4 previous felony convictions including 7 years in prison for the last time he was convicted. The prosecutors initially offered him a deal for 8 years in prison.

People v. DU
Client was charge with multiple counts of First Degree Murder and Attempted Murder. It was alleged that our Client and at least one other individual were seen by police shooting into a party. One of the party goers was killed and another was shot in the foot. Our Client allegedly fled and discarded a gun while fleeing. We were able to prove that the bullets that hit the party goers causing injury and death were not fired from the weapon the Police claimed our Client left at the scene. We were also able to poke holes in the prosecution's case, and the Judge was not convinced that our Client was working with the other individuals who were shooting. As a result, our Client was not held accountable for the other shooter's actions and the verdict was Not Guilty.

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!
