Mr. Dunlavey’s client was accused of Attempted Strangulation and Harassment. The key to Mr. Dunlavey’s trial victory was to focus on the police investigation. Time and again, Mr. Dunlavey found procedural errors where the police failed to follow proper protocols – protocols that exist to ensure the validity of evidence. As an example, the police interviewed witnesses in front of other witness so that each could hear the statement of the other and therefore adjust their statements to match. As part of Mr. Dunlavey’s focus on the investigation, he pointed out to the jury that the prosecutor didn’t bring the officer that actually did the interviews with witnesses to the trial – a very unusual choice by the prosecution. Ultimately, the jury must have agreed that the evidence offered by the prosecution was not to be trusted because they returned a verdict of Not Guilty to both charges.
