Mitch's client was charged with five felony counts and up to LIFE in prison with a mandatory minimum sentence of 25 years for criminal sexual conduct first and second degree. A vigorous and thorough cross examination of the nine-year-old accuser revealed that the accusations were fabricated. The defense also included character witnesses and the defendant's own testimony proclaiming his innocence. A Wayne County jury reached five unanimous not guilty verdicts after deliberating for less than an hour.
