Not Guilty Verdict on Aggravated Assault and Criminal Conspiracy Charges

Our client was charged with aggravated assault and criminal conspiracy. If convicted of the charges, she faced a minimum sentence of anywhere from 6 to 12 months of incarceration. She did not want to go to jail and turned to our Pittsburgh criminal defense lawyers for help.

We reviewed her case and spoke to prosecutors about our client’s options. The prosecutor offered to allow our client to serve her time via home confinement if she pled guilty to the aggravated assault and criminal conspiracy charges.

Our client denied that she had any involvement in the matter that led to her charges, and decided that she wanted to reject the offer of home confinement and take her case to trial. The jury found her not guilty of aggravated assault and criminal conspiracy at the trial. Our client achieved the result she wanted.

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.
