Client J.U. was charged with first-degree rape and was alleged to have forced himself on an acquaintance while she was sleeping. My client was a young man beginning his adulthood with a good job and a supportive family then woke up one day and found himself accused of a serious crime that could have cost him to spend the rest of his life in prison.
Jury comes back with a not guilty verdict on first-degree rape charge.
This case was litigated for over a year. The District Attorney's office was so confident that my client was guilty that they did not even offer any type of plea deal. I had no qualms about sticking it to the DA's office. When it came to the jury trial phase of my clients case, I fought tooth and nail. After 5 long days of jury trial the jury deliberated for about 1 hour and came back with a not guilty verdict. Saying my client and his family were ecstatic with the outcome of this case would be an understatement.
