Aggravated Assault to a Police Officer and Reckless Conduct – NOT GUILTY

Client was arrested for threatening to beat up numerous Chicago Police Officers outside a bar in Chicago. The threats were so serious that the Defendant was tasered after he came charging at a Police Officer with his hands clenched in a fist. On the trial date, all of the police officers involved came to court to testify against my client. Instead of backing down, we answered ready for trial. During my lengthy and damaging cross-examination of one of the officers, I made her look like a complete liar. I made her contradict her own police reports and contradict the testimony of another officer. That Chicago Police Officer had no idea what had just hit her! I got her to deny facts that she wrote in her own report and admit facts that were not in that report! Lets just say my cross-examination was a disaster for the State of Illinois. It got so ugly for the officers testifying during my cross-examination that the judge granted my motion for a directed finding at trial and found my client not guilty of all charges! Yet another victory for my law firm!
