Congratulations to Tyler Beach on Another Measure 11 Trial Win Saving his Client from 70 Months (5.83 years) of Prison Time!

Mr. Beach’s client was accused of Robbery 2.  If convicted, Oregon law requires 70 months of prison.  The accusation was that while he was stealing from a store that he threatened to stab the store clerk who confronted him.  At trial, Mr. Beach proved that his client’s actual words were “I’ve stabbed other people for less.”  But, he then just walked out of the store.  Although that may be a threat, it didn’t meet the criteria to qualify under Oregon law as Robbery 2.  Accordingly, Mr. Beach won his motion to dismiss the case upon the close of the prosecutor’s evidence!
