Multiple Charges Withdrawn for Crashing into a Cop Car
There are very few cases that come along with a string of charges attached. And this blog is about a similar case that we at Logue Law Group recently handled and won!
So, we were contacted by a Mr. Barrett, who was arrested by the cops for the following charges-
- Criminal mischief.
- Theft.
- Receiving stolen property.
- Unauthorized usage of an automobile.
- Institutional vandalism.
Now, owing to the severity of the charges, it was most certain that Mr. Barrett was going to face a prison sentence, along with substantial fines and a criminal record. Luckily, he hired our Pittsburgh criminal lawyers, who turned the case in his favor!
A Glimpse of the Case
This was one of the cases that will surely remind you of James Bond movies!
So, it all started when our client was speeding on a stolen dirt bike. When the cops tried to stop him, he evaded, which led to a high-speed chase. However, things didn’t stop there! Mr. Barrett, totally overwhelmed with the situation, continued his reckless driving until he crashed his dirt bike into a law enforcement vehicle.
Naturally, Mr. Barrett was arrested by the cops after this big ruckus. However, fortunately, what he did right was exercise his right to call a Pittsburgh criminal lawyer. And that’s what saved him from a surefire prison sentence!
How Did We Turn the Case into Our Client’s Favor?
Normally, cases with such a string of charges require a lot of elbow grease from our Pittsburgh criminal lawyers to settle. However, this case seemed to be an exception in that sense.
Why so?
Because when our experienced lawyers heard the briefing from Mr. Barrett and did some more research, they found out that cops did not have sufficient evidence against him! It was at that moment, our Pittsburgh criminal lawyers knew that we won the case.
However, we waited for the day of Mr. Barrett’s preliminary hearing and placed our defense accordingly. Moreover, Mr. Barrett was completely unaware of the fact that the dirt bike was stolen property! Apparently, it was his friend who gave it to him to enjoy a ride for the weekend.
On top of that, Mr. Barrett was a valid license holder and had no prior criminal record. This gave us a bit more leverage and helped strengthen our defense strategy.
Finally, things turned out as we expected. The prosecution withdrew every single charge related to the case due to the lack of sufficient evidence. Mr. Barrett, who was dead sure that this was the end of his career and his reputation, was quite surprised when the results ruled in his favor! So now, Mr. Barrett could live freely, knowing that his name won’t appear in criminal records.
At Logue Law Group, our policy is quite simple- to get the client what they truly deserve. And when that blends with the meticulousness and profound knowledge of our Pittsburgh criminal lawyers, even the most difficult cases yield the most favorable outcomes!
