Criminal Damage to Property – ALL CHARGES DISMISSED

My client was arrested for damaging multiple vehicles in his neighborhood. My client kicked and pulled the side mirrors off of two separate vehicles in Chicago. He was unaware that his actions were being recorded by a University of Chicago video surveillance system. After the video was was shown to school officials, my client was identified as the individual responsible for the damage. When my client was arrested, he made full statements to the police in which he admitted to damaging the vehicles. On the first court date one of the witnesses were in court so we got a date for trial. I was hoping that the witness would not appear on the trial date. On the trial date, the witness appeared again! I negotiated with the prosecutor and got ALL CHARGES DISMISSED even though the State had their witness and my client was recorded committing the crime.
