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.
