7-day Jury Trial Leads to Not Guilty Verdict for Federal Charges
Our client, a Sherriff’s Deputy, was charged with willful denial of constitutional rights and obstruction of justice, charges which carry up to 20 years in prison. He was accused of using excessive force against a suspect during an arrest and then lying about it in his report in an effort to cover up the crime. The trial was prosecuted by the Department of Justice and the FBI. After a seven-day trial the federal jury returned unanimous not guilty verdicts on all counts.
