Mr. Beach’s client was accused of Rape 1, Sex Abuse 1, Felony Assault 4, and Strangulation. If convicted of all the charges, Mr. Beach’s client faced up to 40 years of prison (if he were to receive the maximum for each charge). The entire case was based upon the alleged victim’s statements. There was physical evidence proving that the two people had engaged in sex; but, for the Rape and Sex Abuse charges the question was whether it was consensual. Accordingly, Mr. Beach knew the trial would be all about credibility. The trial was ultimately decided by Mr. Beach’s pretrial investigation and the cross examination of the alleged victim using that investigation. By using the alleged victim’s text messages and her multiple statements to the police, Mr. Beach was able to prove that the alleged victim simply was not telling the truth. At the end of the trial, the judge said that the victim was not credible. Accordingly, Mr. Beach’s client was found Not Guilty of all charges.
