Our client faced three serious charges — Strangulation, Attempted Strangulation, and Harassment — with a combined potential sentence of over six years in custody. Attorney Tyler Beach took the case to trial and secured Not Guilty verdicts on all counts.

Mr. Beach’s defense was built on multiple layers. First, he identified a critical legal issue before the jury ever began deliberating: the complaining witness had provided grand jury testimony about the strangulation allegations but had not mentioned a separate alleged push. Because that information was never presented to the grand jury, Tyler successfully moved to prevent the jury from considering it — a precise legal maneuver that significantly narrowed the prosecution's case before it even reached the jury.

Second, when the complaining witness took the stand at trial, she recanted her allegations regarding the strangulation entirely, undermining the foundation of the prosecution's case.

Third, Tyler demonstrated that the complaining witness had a concrete personal motive to fabricate the allegations. She was facing serious criminal charges of her own and stood to benefit from presenting herself as a domestic violence victim at her own sentencing.

Faced with a recanting witness, excluded evidence, and a demonstrated motive to lie, the jury returned Not Guilty verdicts on all three charges.

This case reflects what experienced trial attorneys do — identify every legal avenue available, rigorously cross-examine witnesses, and expose the truth about why accusations are sometimes made. If you are facing serious charges, having the right attorney in your corner can make all the difference.
