Congratulations to Tyler Beach on a Felony Assault Not Guilty finding!

Mr. Beach’s client was accused of Felony Assault 4 and Harassment.  The Assault charge carries a maximum prison sentence of 5 years.  During the trial, Mr. Beach directed the jury to focus on the many differing stories given by the alleged victim.  She had made differing claims about experiencing pain and needing to use crutches.  Mr. Beach showed how the various claims regarding pain contradicted each other.  Also, Mr. Beach used the police to testify about how well the alleged victim was walking, how far she walked (without crutches), and her lack of any apparent pain when with the police.  Lastly, Mr. Beach got into evidence the fact that the alleged victim has already been convicted of the crime of Providing False Information to the police.  Accordingly, Mr. Beach’s client was found Not Guilty of the Felony Assault. Mr. Beach’s client was convicted of the Harassment misdemeanor. However, that was the crime he actually did commit and he received probation for that charge.
