Two local attorneys, members of the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, said that they had never seen a similar case won in the 30 plus years they had been practicing in the area. The client had everything stacked against him: Muslim, affluent and Republican in blue-collar Democratic town, and intensely negative press coverage that blanketed the jury pool.
Two things won this case: (1) a very aggressive investigation plan; and (2) a very aggressive pre-trial motion plan. A team of investigators collected everything they could find on the former temporary employees who had made the accusations. In addition, the team traveled across three states to locate a crucial friendly witness. Next, the prosecution was hit hard with a series of pre-trial motions in which the personal knowledge aspect of the alleged victims was put to intense psychological scrutiny. Steps were also taken in the media to counteract the intensely negative pre-trial coverage.
The prosecution realized its case had been devastated and dropped all charges the day of the trial.
A lawsuit-happy patient decided that our client, a medical professional, had a nice building that was ripe for the taking. She informed the local police that the client was committing sexual acts during her medical visits. The police and the state's attorney general collaborated to send the woman back with a hidden video camera to tape several visits. Next, the police and the attorney general found two local "experts" in the same medical specialty to testify that what the client had done was unethical, incompetent, and completely sexual in orientation. At trial, the district attorney showed the video, got testimony from the local "experts" and even got another patient to blurt out during her testimony "He did sexual stuff to me too!" Again, our team used the science and the published research in the scientific journals to cross-examine the witnesses. The result: not guilty of all charges.
When a former beauty queen decided to divorce our client, she conspired to have him charged with attempted homicide. She manipulated the judge into violating our client's rights by having him illegally arrested and charged. Our senior attorney sued the judge in federal court and got him removed from the case. After an intense investigation of the facts and negotiation with prosecutors, the case was settled - our client plead guilty to shouting in public. Then we got him his house, his business, and his kids. The former beauty queen was restricted to visits after she got therapy.
