May 10, 2017 - NOT GUILTY JURY VERDICT - CRIMINAL SEXUAL CONDUCT FIRST DEGREE and HOME INVASION FIRST DEGREE and FELOIOUS ASSAULT
Mitch's client was accused of breaking into a home and raping a woman at knife point and was facing up to LIFE in prison if convicted as charged. The prosecutor's best offer was 10 to 20 years in prison - Mitch's client rejected this offer, opted for trial, took the stand in his own defense, and was declared not guilty by a Wayne County jury of all counts in a classic he said/she said case. Mitch's cross examination of the accuser was the key to this case. The defense was consent. This was the second jury trial in this case - the first trial was in February and resulted in a hung jury and a mistrial was declared.
