Mr. Dunlavey’s client was accused of Felony Assault 4. This charge carries up to five years of prison. Unfortunately, given the sentencing rules, we expected Mr. Dunlavey’s client to get the full five years if we lost at trial. During the trial, Mr. Dunlavey’s cross examination of the ‘victim’ showed that the ‘victim’s’ story was inconsistent. Further, the ‘victim’ outweighed Mr. Dunlavey’s client by a hundred pounds and Mr. Dunlavey’s client ended up in the hospital while the ‘victim’ didn’t need any medical care. Naturally, Mr. Dunlavey argued self-defense. After all was done, the jury agreed with Mr. Dunlavey and found his client Not Guilty.
