Congratulations to Tyler Beach on an Attempted Murder Jury Trial Victory!

Mr. Beach’s client was accused of Attempted Murder, Assault 1, and Unlawful Use of a Weapon.  Rather than tallying up all the potential prison time that Mr. Beach’s client was facing if convicted, let’s just accept that he would be locked up for a very long time.  The case stemmed from a fight where a man was stabbed – he lived.  There was no disputing that Mr. Beach’s client was waiting to confront a man about a dispute and that a physical fight ensued and that the other man was ultimately stabbed.  But, at trial, Mr. Beach established three huge facts for the jury.  First, that other man actually started the physical fight.  Second, it wasn’t Mr. Beach’s client that actually stabbed the man. And third, Mr. Beach’s client had no way to know that someone else was going to stab this man during this fight.  The jury returned a Not Guilty on all charges brought against Mr. Beach’s client!
