Mr. Beach’s client was accused of Assault 4 and Harassment in a domestic relationship. Mr. Beach’s client was actually guilty of the Harassment, and was willing to accept that charge’s sanctions; however, he didn’t actually committing the crime of Assault 4 pursuant to Oregon law. The prosecutor wouldn’t agree; so a trial was necessary. Mr. Beach’s argument was that although his client had done a crime, by law he had not done the greater crime alleged by the prosecutor (the Assault 4). Since his argument was a legal rather than a factual argument, Mr. Beach and his client decided to waive having a jury decide the issue and did the trial to a judge. The judge agreed and found Mr. Beach’s client Not Guilty of the Assault 4 charge.
