CASE RESULT | Shrager Defense Attorneys
Homicide Acquittal in Armstrong County
In 2024
Our client was charged with the first-degree murder of his one-time friend. The government presented evidence that our client was involved in a love triangle with the girlfriend of the victim. They argued that this was the motivation for the crime which left the victim dead in his own backyard, shot five times from close range. Attorney Dresbold demonstrated, using a mannequin to represent the victim’s body, that the trajectory of the bullet wounds suggested that this was a self-defense shooting. The jury agreed, finding the Defendant not guilty on the murder charges and sparing him from a potential life sentence.
