Not Guilty on All Charges Gross Sexual Imposition
  • Logan County Common Pleas Court
Our client was charged with 6 counts of GSI with mandatory prison time.  During the pendency of the case, the complainant accused our client of stalking her and driving by her house so the jail put out a warrant out and our client ended up in jail.  His family notified us and we immediately filed a motion and disputed the accusations.  After a hearing where we argued our client’s position, the court agreed with us and let our client out of jail and withdrew the warrant.  Our client maintained the position that he was completely innocent of these charges and we took the case to trial.  After several days at trial, the jury deliberated and came back with a verdict of NOT GUILTY on all charges. Afterwards, the jurors complimented us and our presentation at trial and stated it was Mr. Kane’s performance that convinced them to say not guilty.

The court ruled a mistrial, which allowed our client to later get a good deal and he has now resumed his life with his family.
  • Not Guilty Burglary
    • Montgomery County Common Pleas Court
    We felt this was a textbook case of confirmation bias, where a police officer has tunnel vision and investigates the crime from the point of view that the defendant is guilty and not from an objective position.  Witnesses said they saw someone leaving the area of a house that had been burglarized.  The detective decided our client was the one who did it and did not consider anyone else, despite there being evidence our client was not the person who burglarized this house.  We went to trial and the jury said NOT GUILTY.  Our client was immediately let out of jail.
  • Case Dismissed OVI
    • Vandalia Municipal Court
    This was the first time our client had even been charged with a crime.  The officer suspended her license and prohibited her from driving.  We filed a motion with the court and got her driving privileges back immediately.  We then went to court and got her case dismissed.  She now has her license fully reinstated and no criminal convictions on her record.

    • Vandalia Municipal Court
    Our client was charged with his second OVI.  During his case, he was arrested again for Driving Under Suspension with mandatory jail time.  The court immobilized our client’s vehicle and kept it in the tow yard, thereby accumulating significant fees.  We filed a motion with the court and got his vehicle released, which saved our client thousands of dollars.  Then we went to court and convinced the court to release his vehicle from the immobilization, got him driving privileges, and kept him out of jail.  Our client was very happy with the results.

  • Case Dismissed Theft of Drugs
    • Montgomery County Common Pleas Court

    • Greene County Common Pleas Court
    Our client was charged with 15 counts of Drug Possession, Drug Trafficking, and Engaging in a Pattern of Corrupt Activity, which alleged she was working as part of a large organization selling drugs.  These charges carry severe penalties and our client admitted to the police she was a large drug trafficker.  After filing several motions and fighting the case, we were able to get our client out of jail and on probation after getting the serious charges dismissed.  Instead of many years in prison, we helped her serve a few weeks in the local jail and then put on probation.
