Not Guilty

January 16, 2008 on 10:05 pm | In Uncategorized | 3 Comments

If you remember, my first trial was a contested bench trial last July, which I won.  My first jury trial was last September, which I won on four out of seven counts by way of required findings of not guilty, but the jury convicted on all three counts that went to them and my client was taken into custody as a result.  Well, today I had another jury trial and I got to hear the jury say “NOT GUILTY” for the first time.  And it was glorious.  One charge, not guilty, you are free to go, ma’am.   Best feeling ever.  Until I started thinking about all the things I did wrong, but that’s to be expected, I suppose.  I wish I could go into more detail about the shenanigans that manifested during jury selection and the prosecution’s case, but I am not totally anonymous anymore, so I am not going to.
