The case involved an allegation that Ms. Johnson’s client hit her boyfriend with a hot hair straightener and when he then tried to call 911 that she took away the phone. Ms. Johnson didn’t challenge the factual allegation but rather spent the trial talking about why her client did those acts and encouraged the jury to decide the case upon what Ms. Johnson’s client intended to do through her actions. Based upon diving into the issue of ‘intent’ alone, the Jury returned a Not Guilty verdict!
