CLF Trial Week (11/11) Update

Lead trial attorney Mike Carr tried two jury trials in two separate districts.

Trial 1 - Cleveland: Three counts of sexual battery - each carrying a possible penalty of life in prison. Court dismissed one count halfway through the trial for lack of evidence. Jury could not reach a decision on the two remaining counts therefore resulting in a hung jury.

Trial 2 - Greenwood: One count of aggravated assault where defendant alleged to have struck another man in the head with a chair. Jury found it was not aggravated assault but did vote guilty for misdemeanor simple assault.
