REDUCTION & DEFERRED ADJUDICATION
Charge
Driving While Intoxicated w/BAC >=0.15, Class A Misdemeanor
Outcome
Reduced to Class B Misdemeanor DWI with Deferred Adjudication, Interlock Requirement Waived
Allegation
A 911 caller alerted law enforcement that a vehicle had collided with a light pole and came to a stop on a sidewalk in front of a convenience store. When officers arrived on scene, client and client’s boyfriend were standing outside of the vehicle. Police conducted a DWI investigation and client admitted to operating the motor vehicle. Client consented to a blood draw, and the lab report showed a blood alcohol concentration of .202.
Key to Success
Even though client admitted to driving her vehicle, police omitted key details from their report regarding two dispatch operators who reportedly observed client’s boyfriend exit the driver’s seat of the vehicle after the collision on a non-recording CCTV camera. The lead DWI officer spent most of his investigation believing that client’s boyfriend drove the vehicle at the time of the collision. After a phone call to his supervisor, the primary officer completely reversed course, asked client to confirm she was driving, and placed her under arrest. While none of that information made it into the officer’s report, we pinpointed key timestamps on various videos for the prosecutor to review and made it known that we would attack the officer’s investigation and omissions at trial. Prosecutor offered to reduce the charge and defer adjudication, and we succeeded in convincing the Court to waive the requirement of an interlock.
NO-BILLED
Charge
Injury to Elderly Person, Third-Degree Felony
Outcome
No-Billed by Grand Jury
Allegation
After an argument over plans for his sister’s birthday dinner the next day, client struck his elderly father in the head with a jar of fudge. Client’s family called paramedics since client’s father was feeling dizzy. When paramedics became suspicious about the cause of injury, they contacted police. Client admitted to police that he struck his father in the head with the jar
Key to Success
Client had previously been diagnosed with a mental disability but had not been receiving treatment after the family lost insurance coverage. We assembled a grand jury defense packet comprised of client’s medical records, sworn statements from family members, and a legal brief about how client’s mental disability would prevent him from acting with one of the required mental states. After several conversations with the grand jury prosecutor, we submitted our grand jury packet, and the grand jury issued a no-bill. The case ended with no prosecution.
DISMISSED
Charge
Assault Causing Bodily Injury (x2), Class A Misdemeanor
Outcome
Both Charges Dismissed
Allegation
Complainant filed a delayed report alleging client assaulted her and her boyfriend. Client and her husband had been out to dinner with complainant and her husband. While client’s husband was driving to complainant’s house after dinner, an argument ensued. Complainant told police that client started assaulting her in the car, continued assaulting her once they got to complainant’s house, and then complainant claimed client assaulted complainant’s boyfriend when came over to complainant’s house.
Key to Success
Even though client told detective that she had photos of her injuries and provided her photos to detective, detective never sent client’s photos to the prosecutor’s office. Complainant persistently called the detective until he filed the case. We used client’s photos and a collection of witness statements to convince prosecutors that client was acting in lawful self-defense, and prosecutors dismissed both cases.
DISMISSED
Charge
Manufacture or Delivery of Controlled Substance, Second-Degree Felony
Outcome
Case Dismissed
Allegation
Client was arrested after an undercover buyer purchased multiple cartridges from him that allegedly contained THC.
Key to Success
The crime lab could not distinguish THC from numerous other chemical substances mixed in with the THC in the cartridges. With no way to distinguish how much of the liquid was comprised of THC versus the other chemicals, prosecutors could not prove the weight element beyond a reasonable doubt. Prosecutors had no choice but to dismiss
DISMISSED
Charge
Possession of Controlled Substance, State Jail Felony
Outcome
Case Dismissed
Allegation
Client consented to a search of his apartment, and police located three baggies containing residue that field-tested positive for cocaine. Client told police he had no idea the baggies were in his apartment, but police arrested him anyway.
Key to Success
The crime lab was unable to weigh any measurable amount of cocaine since the baggies only contained residue. The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals has held that when the weight of a controlled substance cannot be measured, the prosecution must offer additional corroborative evidence to prove the defendant had knowledge of the controlled substance found in his possession. In this case, client’s live-in girlfriend was arrested earlier in the day for public intoxication. A search at the jail revealed several full baggies that matched the empty baggies found in client’s apartment. The required corroborative evidence pointed to client’s girlfriend, not him, and prosecutors dismissed the case.
ACQUITTED & CONVICTED OF LESSER INCLUDED
Charge
Aggravated Robbery, First-Degree Felony Enhanced 25 Years to Life
Outcome
Directed Verdict on Aggravated Robbery, Not Guilty of Robbery and Attempted Robbery, Convicted of Misdemeanor Theft, Sentenced to Time Served
Allegation
Police were conducting surveillance on client at a local park to execute an arrest warrant. A female walker at the park alerted police when client touched her backside. The female walker was trying to photograph client when client attempted to take her phone. Police intervened before client was able to take the phone. A search incident to arrest revealed a pocketknife in client’s pocket.
Key to Success
On cross examination, the female walker admitted that she never saw a knife in client’s hand. After her testimony, we requested a directed verdict, and the judge agreed. There was no evidence that client threatened the female walker with a knife. Moreover, buried deep in the officers’ body camera videos, we could barely hear a conversation between officers at the jail where they are talking about what to charge client with. officers were familiar with client and expressed frustration that he could quickly post bond for a low-level offense. We could hear one officer remember that he found a pocketknife in client’s pocket, so they decided to submit paperwork for aggravated robbery. The jury did not believe client committed robbery or even attempted robbery and found client guilty of attempted theft from a person. Client was sentenced to time served and released later that day.
