Case dismissed for gun case in Brooklyn
2020
Lance’s client was
arrested for being in possession of a loaded, illegal pistol that was loaded. Despite
facing a strong case, Lance’s client came in right away after the
arrest to start fighting back against the situation. Lance went over different
defenses and examined the evidence. Facing a three and a half year
prison sentence, even for a first arrest, Lance’s client was determined to avoid
jail but also avoid trial. After a few months of litigation, Lance was able
to successfully raise doubt about the provability of the possession element
of the charge. Shortly thereafter, the Kings County Prosecutor offered
to completely dismiss the case. Case dismissed, no
jail, no criminal record, no probation.
