Case #: 08-CF-06124

Our client was charged with a first degree punishable by life felony.  The allegations were that our client broke into a residence with a co-defendant.  The co-defendant struck the owner of the home in the face while attempting to flee the residence.  The owner of the home fired a handgun as the co-defendant fled the home.  Our client was facing mandatory prison and a felony record.  The officer arranged a meeting with the victim and the State Attorney.  We were able to keep our client from becoming a convicted felon or from serving any time in jail.  The co-defendant, who was not our client, was sentenced to multiple years in Florida State Prison.
