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).
EwingLaw Client (Genesee Circuit # 24-52741) was charged with Murder. He was charged after using a gun to defend himself against an attacker–but he was charged with murder because the police did not believe it was self defense. We were able to show that he did act in self defense, and his murder charge was dismissed. He plead no contest for illegally carrying the gun that he used to defend himself. He was given probation for the gun charge.
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.
EwingLaw Client was charged with: 1) Accessory After the Fact, 2) Dead Bodies–Disinterment and Mutilation, 3) Concealing the Death of an Individual, 4) Tampering with Evidence, 5) Second Degree Arson, 6) Arson-Preparation to Burn Property, and 7)
Dead Bodies–Disinterment and Mutilation. Due to the client’s criminal history, and offense variables, he faced a minimum of 10 years in prison–up to life (HO4).
After a lengthy legal battle, a plea agreement was reached for the client to receive probation instead of prison.

Attorney Ewing tried a case before a jury involving murder charges at the Mega Coney Island in Flint, Michigan. Jury returned a NOT GUILTY VERDICT. See below:
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.
In January of 2020, a Ewing Law client who was charged with Open Murder received a term of probation. The original murder charge was amended to manslaughter and there was an agreement that he would be placed on probation after receiving enough jail credit for his felony firearm conviction. 18-042947 FC.
