Mr. Beach’s client was accused of Strangulation and two counts of Assault 4. If convicted, Mr. Beach’s client faced up to seven years of incarceration (technically, two days short of seven years). The alleged victim claimed that Mr. Beach’s client strangled her and hit her with a belt. The police saw marks on the alleged victim’s body - and they also observed that the alleged victim was clearly intoxicated when she was interviewed. At trial, the alleged victim claimed that she was not intoxicated when she made her complaint to the police. Mr. Beach built upon that obvious lie by the alleged victim so that the conclusion was that if she lied about drinking, perhaps she lied about the rest. The jury agreed that they could not believe her beyond and reasonable doubt and returned a Not Guilty verdict on all charges.
