Dismissed
Forcible Sodomy, Chesterfield (November 2018)
Our client, an adult, was charged with Forcible Sodomy for an event which
occurred when he was a Juvenile. Because of statements the client made
to police during their investigation, pleading not guilty was not a reasonable
option. Instead, we aggressively negotiated for his case to remain in
Juvenile Court, so that he would not be tried as an adult. Once we accomplished
that goal, we steered our client into appropriate counseling and down
several paths of community-oriented behavior which gave us the strongest
possible hand when we argued in court how the Juvenile Court judge should
handle the case. Ultimately, the client’s charge was entirely dismissed.
