ENM Law News: Armed robbery charge dismissed at preliminary hearing

by | May 31, 2017 | Uncategorized | 0 comments

Attorney Nevins recently represented a client who was incarcerated for an armed robbery charge. Armed robbery is a felony of the first degree and is punishable by a maximum of 20 years of incarceration and a $25,000 fine. Our client denied the allegations and said that he was trying to help the alleged victim, not rob him. Attorney Nevins made plans to fight the charges at the preliminary hearing. Disinterested witnesses were found who supported our client’s version of events and Attorney Nevins made sure that they were in court for the hearing. He presented the witnesses to the police officer and Assistant District Attorney who agreed to withdraw the charges after hearing the witnesses’ credible stories. It turns out the the alleged victim had overdosed on heroin and concocted this story blaming our client in order to avoid getting in trouble with his probation officer. Our client was released from custody the same day as the hearing and faces no criminal charges as a result of this incident.
