Congratulations to Tyler Beach on an Assault on a Public Safety Officer Jury Trial Win!

The police cornered Mr. Beach’s client and accused him of a theft that appears to never have occurred. Mr. Beach’s client didn’t wish to deal with the false accusations. So, the police pepper sprayed Mr. Beach’s client. After being sprayed with the pepper spray, he swung his arms hitting an officer. The prosecutor then charged Mr. Beach’s client with Assault of a Public Safety Officer. This accusation carries up to five years of prison; and the expectation was that he was going to prison if convicted. At trial, Mr. Beach got a video of the event into evidence before the jury. To be found not guilty, the jury would have to agree that Mr. Beach’s client reasonably felt that the police were using excessive force against him. With the video, the jury agreed and found Mr. Beach’s client Not Guilty of Assaulting a Public Safety Officer!
