Charge: 1st Degree Murder, Attempted 1st Degree Murder, 2nd Degree Murder Attempted 2nd Degree Murder, Manslaughter, Second Degree Assault and Felony Handgun Charges
Facing: Multiple Life Sentences
Result: Not Guilty

This client allegedly fired shots into a New Years Eve party on January 1st 2006. The shooting resulted in the death of a 21 year old female (who was survived by her twin sister), and the wounding of the deceased's uncle.

Defense focused on:

  1. The week-long unexplained absence of an important Government witness after the shooting occurred;
  2. The lack of any witnesses testimony as to the Defendant firing a handgun;
  3. The inability of the State to produce a weapon;
  4. And the possibility of another shooter on the scene due to blood splatter evidence outside the home near the spot that the Defendant was standing.

Defendant was found not guilty on the murder charges. The jury was hung as to the manslaughter, assault and handgun charges. The defendant later pled to manslaughter and was given a ten year sentence, suspend all but 5 years.
