Pimpin' Aint Easy

Until today I was preparing for a big trial with seven co-defendants, all charged with Pimping. Now, the state has re-indicted the case to drop all of our client's charges except for Possession of Marijuana!! This is the FIFTH time the state has indicted this case, and hopefully it will be the last. Our client has no record and he's a very nice guy, hopefully this case will go away very quickly with a reduced charge in a plea bargain.

It was hard work preparing for this trial, it was going to be a very lengthy one with lots of defense lawyers (one for each co-defendant), lots of testimony, heaps of evidence, and some uncomfortable charges. The good news is that all the hard work paid off: Not with a trial, but by convincing the DA's office that they had some serious problems with their charges.

It took almost a year from the original date of the arrests: November 10th, 2005. All that hard work was mostly done by the senior attorney in my group, Kevin. I came in towards the end, just a few weeks ago. Even though I've only been on this case for a relatively short time, it still feels like a load off of my shoulders to not have all these charges pending. I can't imagine how good our client feels. . . At least, I hope he's happy with this result, and I hope the case is resolved to his benefit when all is said and done.
