JURY TRIAL VICTORY in the Long Beach Courthouse: September of 2021
My client was facing life in prison, charged with robbery, the use of a gun and a gang enhancement. Furthermore, he had four prior strike felonies. But he didn’t do it and I intended to prove it. During trial I established the actual suspect looked nothing like my client. As the evidence was presented, it became clear the witness identified the wrong person and the wrong car. After closing arguments, the jury returned a unanimous verdict of NOT guilty.
