F. R. was accused of getting in a fight and beating another man in Pontiac. After consulting with Mitch, Mr. R demanded his right to trial. The alleged victim was revealed as a drunk, a trouble maker, and a person who could not be trusted. Mr. R testified in his own defense to establish the defense theory that he used only reasonable force in self defense. A Pontiac District Court Judge found Mr. R not guilty after trial. Mr. R was saved from fines, costs, probation, and the possibility of jail time.
