This week, a EwingLaw Client was sentenced for the unfortunate and accidental shooting of his best friend. He was charged with First Degree Murder, which if convicted would have required life in prison without the possibility of parole. After we were able to show that the shooting was accidental, and that the Client was an outstanding person who made an honest mistake–the charge was reduced to manslaughter and the felony firearm charge was dismissed.

Through testimony and argument, we were able to convince the Judge to give him probation with HYTA ( Holmes Youthful Trainee Act). This means that at if he completes his three year term of probation–the charge will be dismissed. Article and photo by Mlive and Dylan Goetz (link below).
