Congratulations to Ryan Lhotsky on a Jury Trial Win!

Mr. Lhotsky’s client was accused of Assault 4 and Harassment.  The total potential jail sentence if he were to be convicted would be 1 Year and 179 days of jail (364 days for Assault and 180 for Harassment).  At trial, here is what Mr. Lhotsky proved: The alleged victim was drunk and playing with the household dog.  In the process, the alleged victim hit herself, or was hit by the dog, with a dog toy.  This upset her so she began beating the dog and screaming.  Mr. Lhotsky’s client grabbed the dog and left with the dog.  Neighbors called the police due to the disturbance.  No one believed it was the dog toy that hit the alleged victim until Mr. Lhotsky got his opportunity to prove his case at trial.  Both charges were dismissed after Mr. Lhotsky cross examined the alleged victim.
