Aggravated Assault Case Ends With Not Guilty Verdict

Our client was charged with aggravated assault and criminal conspiracy in connection with a drive-by shooting. He faced a mandatory minimum prison sentence of 5 to 10 years, and a record as a violent felon if convicted. He knew he was in serious trouble and turned to the Pittsburgh criminal defense attorneys at Worgul, Sarna & Ness, Criminal Defense Attorneys for help.

Prosecutors were able to prove that our client owned the vehicle from which the shots were fired, and presented an eyewitness with no interest in the outcome of the case who identified our client as the driver of the vehicle. However, we fought for our client at the trial and were able to convince a jury to return a not guilty verdict on the aggravated assault and criminal conspiracy charges.

The outcome of an individual case depends on a variety of factors unique to that case. Case results do not guarantee or predict a similar result in any similar or future case.
