February 10, 2021 - EVIDENCE SUPPRESSED - PISTOL EXCLUDED FROM EVIDENCE

Mitch was representing his client on two separate incidents of being a felon in possession of a firearm in the U.S. District Court in Detroit. On one of the two charges, Mitch filed a motion to suppress evidence based upon an illegal search and seizure. Judge Victoria Roberts of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan ruled in favor of the defense finding that the police officer's claimed "inventory search" was invalid and that the officer went beyond the limits of Terry v Ohio when searching the bag in the car where the gun was found. The government knew that their case on the other count was weak, so they decided to agree to a sentence of credit for time served on the remaining count. The client had been facing up to 10 years, but Mitch was able to get him out of jail and sentenced to a short term of supervised release, which is the Federal Court equivalent of probation.
