Congratulations to Gabe Walsh on another Jury Trial win – one where the alleged victim was held in contempt of court!

Mr. Walsh’s client was accused of Assault 4 and Harassment.  The maximum potential jail sentence if convicted of both charges was one day short of one and half years.  The entirety of the prosecutor’s evidence rested on the complaining alleged victim.  So, Mr. Walsh knew that cross-examination was the key to any potential victory.  Mr. Walsh also knew from his pre-trial investigation that the alleged victim was a bit ‘off.’  So, through tone and technique Mr. Walsh worked to ‘trigger the crazy.’  By the end, the judge held the alleged victim in contempt of court – a finding that meant she faced up to six months of jail herself – and the judge determined that there was no viable basis for the prosecutor’s case because the alleged victim was to unreliable.
