5-year minimum sentence turns into dismissal with aggressive defense tactics
When the police blew a family fight out of proportion, the government tried to subject our client to a 15-year minimum prison sentence. None of the witnesses wanted to prosecute and signed witness statements contradicting the story the government wanted them to tell. The government began to threaten them with perjury and false testimony charges, requiring us to file motions demanding that they be prevented from using these unfair tactics. When the government saw that their scare tactics would not work, they were forced to dismiss the case.
Charges: Burglary with a Battery; Grand Theft
Time Faced: Life in prison with a 15-year minimum mandatory sentence
Result: All charges dismissed
