Case Reversed and Remanded for New Trial on Second-Degree Murder Charge – State Dismisses the Charge, Client Released

The client was charged with first degree murder and proceeded to trial. A jury found him guilty of second-degree murder and the judge sentenced him to 40-years in prison. After having his conviction and sentence vacated, the case was remanded back for a new trial.

The client hired my firm, The Law Office of Robert David Malove. I filed our notice of appearance as attorney of record, obtained the case file and discovery. After reviewing the file and discovery, including an order from the appellate court that suppressed the traffic stop of the client, we had several conversations with the State and ultimately convinced the prosecutor he could not prevail. The State nolle prossed (dismissed) the case and our client was forever discharged from facing a second-degree murder charge.

It took a lot of work, intimate knowledge of the facts of this case, and knowing the law to convince the State to dismiss such a serious charge. My firm thoroughly investigates each case, drafts scholarly pleadings and is relentless in getting our clients the best results we can.
