Jury Finds EwingLaw Client Not Guilty of Murder (and other charges).

Court record shows our Client was found not guilty of all charges.

EwingLaw Client was charged with: 1) Murder First Degree, 2) Felony Firearm, 3) Felon in Possession of Firearm, 4) Felony Firearm, 5) Felon in Possession of Ammunition.

Attorney Ewing tried the case for a week, with his client at his side. At the conclusion of the trial, the jury returned a verdict of not guilty of all charges. After sitting in jail waiting for trial for more than two years–he was free shortly after the verdict.

The charges stemmed from a homicide that took place in October of 2023. The victim was shot at point-blank-range and died. Security video in the area showed our client in the area at the time–which was corroborated by our client’s cell phone records. The allegation was that the cartridge casings found at the crime scene was found in our Client’s property. And there was testimony that there was an ongoing feud between our Client and the victim. Attorney Ewing argued that the evidence was circumstantial and coincidental.

Today, our client remains free and is living with his family trying to rebuild his life after having spent over two years in jail.

EwingLaw Client charged with First Degree Murder gets probation and HYTA!

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).
