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.
