Our client was charged with attempted murder after the alleged victim claimed that shots were fired during a road rage incident in San Francisco. The allegations exposed our client to the possibility of a lengthy prison sentence and the life-altering consequences associated with one of California’s most serious felony offenses.
Our defense team carefully examined the prosecution’s evidence and identified critical weaknesses in the identification of the alleged shooter. We demonstrated that the alleged victim was unable to identify our client and could describe only a gray van, leaving the prosecution without reliable evidence connecting our client to the alleged offense. We aggressively challenged the sufficiency of the evidence and held the prosecution to its burden of proof.
As a result of the significant deficiencies we underscored, the prosecution dismissed the attempted murder case. Our client avoided wrongful prosecution and the devastating consequences of a conviction for a violent felony.
