Mr. Beach’s client was accused of Assault 4 and Strangulation. If convicted, Mr. Beach’s client would go to prison, not probation, because the case was what is called a ‘presumptive prison’ case. After two days of litigating, the judge granted Mr. Beach’s motion for judgment of acquittal – meaning that the prosecutor failed to prove enough that there could be any way a reasonable jury could find Mr. Beach’s client guilty. So, the Assault was dismissed and that left only the Strangulation charge for the jury. The jury returned with a Not Guilty decision!
