After a three-day jury trial in Prince George’s County, a 30-year veteran correctional officer was acquitted of all charges, including several felonies which would have carried five years without parole.
Andrew Jezic and Jamie Alvarado-Taylor cross-examined all of the State’s witnesses in such a way as to show that the client’s own testimony was corroborated. It was a difficult case because the State had two eyewitnesses as compared to one for the defendant–himself.
The jury deliberated only three hours before liberating the 62-year-old father of seven. He and his wife of 32 years were elated.
