Rape 1st Degree in Brooklyn Supreme Court dismissed

2009

Our client was arrested by the Brooklyn Special Victims Squad because a female friend accused him of raping her at gunpoint. Our client maintained his innocence. He faced a possible life sentence. Many cases like this can end up going to trial because they come down to just the say-so of the complainant so proving that you didn’t do it can be nearly impossible. Going to trial always has some risk so you avoid it if you can. We poured through cell phone data that we used to show that our client couldn’t have committed it. Case dismissed without trial.
