Firm Employs "Rush to Judgment" Theme to Win Hit and Run Acquittal
Posted by: dpakula on Thursday, July 31, 2008 - 10:51 AM
News You may recall that one of the themes used by OJ Simpson's dream team was the "rush to judgment." Simpson's lawyers were able to show that the investigating law enforcement officers had already made up their minds before they began the investigation. In that manner, the defense was able to call into question the credibility of the investigation. Regardless of your take on the OJ verdict, the rush to judgment theme is a valid defense in an appropriate case. Recently, our firm successfully employed the rush to judgment theme in defending our client who had been accused of leaving the scene of an accident.

Through aggressive cross-examination, we were able to show that the investigating officer had failed to gather key information. For example, the officer examined the defendant's car without checking to see if the paint transfer matched the color of the car that was allegedly hit. Instead of performing a competent investigation, the officer relied primarily on statements of the driver of other car.

We also succeeded in challenging the credibility of our client's chief accuser, the driver of the car that was allegedly hit. We accomplished this by showing inconsistencies in the witness' story, as well as inconsistencies between the chief witness' testimony and that of the investigating law enforcement officer.

Our client took the stand and credibly testified that the alleged accident had not, in fact, occurred. Our "rush to judgment" theme, together with the thorough cross-examination of the state's chief witness, produced the reasonable doubt that resulted in an acquittal.

If you have been wrongfully accused of a crime due to a faulty investigation by law enforcement, you have the right to confront your accusers in court. Our firm fights to win these types of cases, rather than taking a plea in every case as some law firms do. Call our office to arrange a free consultation.
