Client was pulled over in his vehicle for improper brake lights. When the Officer approached the driver side window he immefiatley smelt marijuana searched the vehicle which yeilded a large amount of marijuana. After researching the stop and looking at the vehicle it was clear that client had two working brake lights. One on the left side and an unconventional taillight in the middle of the back window. After hearing on a motion to suppress based on an illegal stop the Judge agreed that the working taillights do not have to be the conventional brake lights. As long as any two tailights work, that is sufficient and dismissed the charges.

Client allegedley went over to ex-girlfriends house and dragged her into his car and allegedley beat her. State offered very strict sentence. During trial the evidence showed that the alleged victim did not have injuries consistent with her story and that her veracity to tell the truth was questionable. The Jury felt there was reasonable doubt and found my client not guilty.
