Over the course of approximately 18 months, the defense worked with multiple experts to develop substantial mitigating evidence regarding the client’s background and circumstances. The defense consistently argued that the case had been significantly overcharged. After extended negotiations, the client ultimately entered a plea to a substantially reduced offense. Following an argued sentencing hearing, the court imposed probation, allowing the client to return home to his family rather than serve a prison sentence.
