Client Charged with Murder Discharged from Supervision (Probation).

In 2018, there was a shooting at a Flint gas station that resulted in our client being charged with 1st Degree Murder. Client was 15 years-old and was initially charged as an adult–facing life in prison without parole. After we presented evidence that mitigated the murder charge, the prosecutor agreed to dismiss and re-issue the charge in the juvenile court.

The client was in custody for a short period of time before being transitioned into living on his own while being supervised (probation) by the State of Michigan. Today, he was released from supervision (probation) and can move forward with his life.

Murder Charges Dismissed!

A Ewing Law Client was charged with Open Murder, Felony Firearms, Assault with Intent to Murder, Felony Firearms, and Carrying a Concealed Weapon. Our client was only 15 years old at the time of the incident–but faced life without parole before the adult court.

We were able to use the evidence to show that the facts and circumstances were not as clear cut as the police believed. As a result, the charges were dismissed, and the client was allowed to have his case handled in the juvenile court–which will monitor his progress in high school and rehabilitative programs so that he can move into his adulthood free from incarceration with his entire life ahead of him.
