Congratulations to Joe Metcalf on a Jury Trial Win!

Mr. Metcalf’s client was accused of Unlawful Use of a Weapon, Menacing, and Harassment.  His client’s potential prison time, if convicted of all three charges, was six and a half years (technically, one day short of six and a half years).  Mr. Metcalf’s trial strategy focused on three issues.  First, was preparation of his client for his client’s testimony.  Second, was to challenge the alleged victim’s story by obtaining her text messages and using her own messages to challenge the truthfulness of her testimony.  Third, Mr. Metcalf brought in three character witness to teach the jury about his client’s personality and non-violent nature.  After the trial completed and the jury left to deliberate, the jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty after just twenty minutes of discussion.
