Congratulations to Angus Dunlavey on another Jury Trial Win!

Mr. Dunlavey’s client was accused of Assault IV and Harassment.  If convicted of both charges, Mr. Dunlavey’s client faced up to 1 ½ years of jail.  Mr. Dunlavey’s client was accused by his father.  Father claimed that Mr. Dunlavey’s client had thrown him to the ground causing an injury that hurt as a pain level of 9 out of 10.  At trial, the father added that while he was on the ground Mr. Dunlavey’s client kicked him as well.  During cross examination, all the allegations fell apart.  The father testified that he had not been drinking alcohol at the event, but Mr. Dunlavey had the video from the time showing the father drinking.  Also, despite supposedly having a pain level only one degree less than the worst pain imaginable, he declined any medical evaluation to find and treat injuries.  As the cross examination continued, greater and greater details of the event changed and differed from what he said at the time of the event and from what could be proved from other evidence.  Ultimately the Jury returned the verdict of Not Guilty on both charges.
