Harassing Phone Calls

I had a trial yesterday for Harassing Phone Calls... yes, a jury trial.

I got a directed verdict on Simple Assault and the second count of harassing phone calls. The jury convicted of one count and he was time served.

I love that we're spending tax dollars on harassing phone call jury trials.

Pick your battles I guess, let the violent crimes go, but balls to the walls for phone the phone call cases.

The prosecutor also got into some questionably unprofessional tactics as well, but that's for a day with more time to post.

I am a Trial Attorney

I just finished my first trial.


My client started the day facing two accusations and ten charges. After directed verdict I got them down to eight charges. After deliberating for an hour and 15 minutes they returned a verdict..... acquittal on two charges and convictions on the remaining six.


I'm counting it as a win, but it still stings. I'll have to recap more later. I just got home and need a nap.
