Super pleased to announce that my team and I got a federal criminal jury of 12 to deadlock 6-6 in a high-stakes case involving gun charges. This was a big win for us, considering that the Pue Research Center has found that fewer than 1% of criminal defendants in federal criminal trials get acquitted, or get a mistrial via a deadlocked jury.
More challenging for our team was the fact that my client is a convicted felon and that the United States Justice Department presented four Chicago police officers who testified that they found a gun in my client’s car as well as three civilian witnesses who said the same thing. Numerous ATF special agents worked on the case and the Justice Department assigned two top prosecutors to litigate the case.
Our defense heavily depended on cross-examination to get out our theory that the gun had been planted on my client; and I am so thankful for the masterful cross-examination Ari Williams, Shay T Allen and myself subjected each witness to.
The Feds have indicated that they are unsure if they will re-prosecute the case. But if they do, we will be ready.
Super grateful to my friend and colleague, Jack Kennedy of Kennedy Watkins, in working hard with me to secure a one million dollar settlement in a recent technically tough wrongful death case.

I am pleased to announce a recently secured Not Guilty verdict by reason of insanity on a murder case I recently handled.
Such verdicts are very hard to secure because the defense of insanity is only used in about one percent of criminal cases and successful in just a fraction of those. The reason for this difficulty is simple. To demonstrate insanity, it is not enough to show a defendant suffered mental illness, rather, it must be shown too, that the mental illness caused the defendant to lack substantial capacity to appreciate the criminality of his or her conduct during the commission of the crime.
