M. R. was charged with Criminal Sexual Conduct - 4th Degree. A Macomb County Jury acquitted Mr. R. of Criminal Sexual Conduct. Mitch's theory of the defense was that the alleged victim, a former employee or Mr. R's business, was trying to set up a civil lawsuit to get rich off her former employer. Through an extensive cross-examination of the alleged victim, her true motivations were revealed. Mr. R. was acquitted. He avoided a felony conviction, and the requirement of being on the sex offender registry for 25 years. His business would have been lost and he would have been financially devastated if he had been convicted.
