Moments after the jury was sworn in, which is the point prejudice attaches for purposes of the Double Jeopardy Clause, we argued to the judge that the State’s witnesses should be precluded from testifying that our client possessed methamphetamines because no one witnessed our client possessing drugs or drug paraphernalia. The judge, after taking a recess to research the issue, reconvened and agreed with us that the State’s witnesses were to be precluded from testifying that our client possessed drugs or drug paraphernalia. The State, in sheer frustration and exasperation, told the judge that they could not proceed with the case. The judge then entered a Judgment of Acquittal on our client’s behalf.

The client was facing a prison sentence between 2 years and 9 months up to 5 years and 9 months if convicted.
The State agreed to dismiss the case after we demonstrated that the assault did not occur. We were also able to show that the client was lured into coming to his ex-wife’s house so that she could report a violation of an Order of Protection. Although being lured to her house is not an actual defense, the State agreed that the client’s ex-wife’s conduct was improper.

Past results are not a guarantee of future success. Every case is factually and legally unique.
