Criminal Defense Case Results
Acquittal at Trial (Not Guilty Verdict)
Driving Under the Influence
Our 70-year-old client, a non-drinker, was unjustly charged with DUI. At trial, Monument Legal effectively demonstrated that the arresting officers failed to properly administer standardized field sobriety tests and presented no credible evidence of intoxication. The judge, swayed by our compelling defense, found our client “Not Guilty.”
Anti-Stalking Order Denied
Anti-Stalking Order Defense from Neighbor Dispute
Our client was accused by a neighbor of stalking, with the petitioner presenting claims that clearly indicated mental health struggles. Monument Legal took the Anti-Stalking Order case to trial, effectively demonstrating the lack of credible evidence. The judge sided with our client, denying the ASO and finding in his favor.
Case Dismissed
Felony Intent to Distribute and Manufacture Schedule 1 Narcotics
Our client was charged with felony intent to distribute and manufacture a large quantity of amphetamines. At the preliminary hearing, the government presented a police officer who was not the lead arresting officer. We attacked his testimony to demonstrate to the court that he could not and did not properly articulate any probable cause. Case Dismissed.
Case Dismissed by Self Defense
Felony Assault
On Valentine’s Day, our client was arrested on felony assault charges after leaving a restaurant, with police believing they witnessed an assault. Monument Legal’s immediate investigation, however, uncovered compelling evidence demonstrating that our client acted purely in self-defense. Upon reviewing our findings, the government wisely dismissed all charges against our client.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are Grand Jury Proceedings?
The process of charging someone with a felony involves securing an indictment through grand jury proceedings. These proceedings are secretive, and the defendant lacks the right to present a defense. Prosecutors subpoena witnesses and present evidence to determine if “probable cause” exists.
What to do if you receive a Grand Jury Subpoena?
If you’ve received a grand jury subpoena, the first step is to contact a criminal defense lawyer. It’s crucial to recognize that prosecutors aim to secure an indictment, not protect your interests. Failure to comply with the subpoena can lead to arrest. Avoid discussing the incident with anyone other than your lawyer.
What are my obligations and rights under a Grand Jury Subpoena?
The primary obligation is to tell the truth. Lying or obstructing justice can lead to felony charges. While you can refuse to answer incriminating questions, consulting with an attorney is advisable to navigate Fifth Amendment protections.
What about my Fifth Amendment rights?
Prosecutors may offer assurances, but the decision to invoke your Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination can be a tricky question, requiring expert legal analysis. If a witness asserts the Fifth, prosecutors may seek to compel testimony or grant immunity, requiring skilled legal representation.
