2nd Degree Intentional Murder and 2nd Degree Unintentional Murder/Felony Assault

NOT GUILTY, both counts

Our client was charged with 2nd degree intentional murder and 2nd degree unintentional murder in the commission of a Felony Assault. The State accused our client of stabbing a man to death in downtown Minneapolis.

If found guilty, our client faced a sentence of 386 months in prison. After an extensive trial in which we put forth substantial evidence that our client was acting in self-defense, the jury came back with a not guilty verdict on both counts.


DWI: Blood Alcohol Content Over .16, Gross Misdemeanor 

CASE DISMISSED

Our client was pulled over and was clearly intoxicated. The police officer poked a preliminary breath test (PBT) apparatus into the client’s eye. At the police station, our client waived rights to an attorney and took the intoxilyzer test. Client’s cut eye required surgery.

We argued that the injury was intentional and resulted in our client being fearful of further police brutality, and as a result, the client did not voluntarily waive his right to consult with an attorney before submitting to the intoxilyzer test. Due to our argument, evidence of the intoxilyzer test was suppressed and the DWI charge over .16 was dismissed for lack of probable cause.


Felony: Possession of Pornographic Work Involving Minors – 7 Counts

6 COUNTS DISMISSED

Our client was charged with 7 counts of Possession of Pornographic Work Involving Minors in Stearns County, Minnesota. If convicted, he faced a guideline sentence of 36 months in prison.

The client pled guilty to one count and all other counts were dismissed. Based upon Plea Agreement we arranged, the felony conviction was deemed a misdemeanor after five years. Our client served just one day in jail.


Felony: Criminal Sexual Conduct in Second Degree

CASE DISMISSED

Our client was a permanent resident in the United States and was accused of sexually assaulting a woman in a night club. If convicted, not only did he face a lengthy prison sentence, but he was at risk for deportation as well. After our office investigated the allegations and discussed the case with the county attorney’s office, all charges were dismissed for lack of evidence prior to trial. We also obtained an expungement of records related to the case to avoid future stigmas associated with the charge.


Burglary: 1st Degree – Assault Person in Building

TRIAL DISMISSAL
