Ms. Cin’s client was accused of menacing. This charge carries up to 364 days of jail if convicted. This is the crime of placing another in fear of serious physical injury - basically, scaring someone that you are going to hurt them. The issue was that Ms. Cin’s client did karate moves in public, and a bystander (with whom Ms. Cin’s client made eye contact) felt fear. At trial, Ms. Cin’s cross examination of the arresting officer proved that her client was well known for doing karate practice in public. The jury agreed that there was no intent to frighten anyone and found her client Not Guilty!
