Attorney Charles Allen was successful in his Motion to Suppress Evidence as a Result of an Unconstitutional Search, and as a result, his client’s criminal charges were dismissed by the District Attorney’s office and our client’s record was sealed in court the same day!
Through extensive review of case discovery and open communication with his client, Charles weeded through hours of body cam footage, police reports and lab reports to clear his client’s name and prevent him from felony charges that would have impacted him for the rest of his life. Charles drilled the prosecutor’s expert witness, a former police officer, to pinpoint the inconsistencies in his testimony and show the court how his client’s Constitutional Rights were violated. Charles showed the Court through case law that the Court, based on the facts of the case, must dismiss the charges against his client.
Additionally, Charles broke down the District Attorney’s argument of a medical exemption by proving the expert witness didn’t have cause for the unwarranted search as the defendant was able to identify himself and did not provide permission for the search. Further, the client was already receiving medical care despite the lack of identification.
Finally, Attorney Charles Allen proved to the Court that since his client was never charged with a crime prior or during the search that the evidence obtained in violation cannot be used against him.
While this case was a huge win for Charles’ client and the Law Offices of Clifton Black, PC, the Court also questioned the actions of the prosecutor’s expert witness. The Court took upon itself to question the officer and make its own findings.
