Terroristic Threats, Other Charges Reduced to Summary Offense

Our client was charged with numerous charges including terroristic threats, theft by extortion, criminal conspiracy, criminal attempt, possession of marijuana, and harassment. If convicted, the client faced serious consequences. The client previously was represented by another lawyer but decided to engage the Pittsburgh criminal defense lawyers at Worgul, Sarna & Ness, Criminal Defense Attorneys, LLC for help with the case.

We reviewed the facts and evidence in the case, and didn’t believe the prosecutor would be able to meet its burden to prove the terroristic threats, theft by extortion, criminal conspiracy, criminal attempt, possession of marijuana, and harassment beyond a reasonable doubt. We were able to resolve the case with a guilty plea to a summary offense, which is the lowest level of criminal offense and would allow for our client’s record to be expunged.

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.
