A man faces a felony for committing a special threatening offense against his ex-lover.
Summary of the Case (Facts) The client had been in a relationship with his lover, which was mentally and physically challenging, and the breakup caused him to feel extreme feelings of loss and betrayal. Unable to overcome his momentary emotions, the client accidentally committed an irreparable wrong and was eventually brought to trial for serious crimes, including special crimes, and faced imprisonment. Our client, who had lived his life with integrity, came to us in a desperate situation where his life could be destroyed in an instant. Case Issues (Features of the Case) This was a case where the client was facing a very high risk of imprisonment due to the high risk of the crime itself and the competing crimes of special intimidation and special residential invasion. Therefore, it was important to convincingly present the mitigating circumstances that led to the crime to the trial court, prove that the client had deep remorse and was not at risk of reoffending, and obtain the most lenient punishment, a suspended sentence.
