Mr. Beach’s client was accused of Recklessly Endangering Another. This charge carries up to 364 days of jail. The case came from a shooting that happened in client’s home during a struggle over a gun. At the trial, Mr. Beach’s proved - through cross examination of the prosecutor’s witnesses - that the gun only discharged when the alleged victim tried to grab the gun and take it away from Mr. Beach’s client. Through this fact, Mr. Beach was able to establish that the gun’s discharge was accidental and not due to the actions of Mr. Beach’s client. At the end of the prosecutor’s evidence, Mr. Beach asked the judge to dismiss the case based solely upon the evidence offered during the prosecution’s presentation. The judge agreed, and dismissed the case without Mr. Beach needing to offer any witnesses of his own.
