Agricola Law is proud to announce that a Lee County jury returned Not Guilty verdicts on all three counts against our client following a five-day jury trial in a challenging and hard-fought criminal case.
Our client had been incarcerated awaiting trial for more than four years when his family retained Agricola Law in January 2025. At trial, the most compelling evidence presented by the defense came from our expert witness, a former Secret Service Agent, who conducted a detailed analysis of cell phone records produced by the State during discovery. This analysis of cell tower data demonstrated that our client’s phone was pinging towers at specific times and locations that confirmed he was traveling during the periods the State alleged the offenses occurred and was not present at the location in question.
Barbara delivered a masterful closing argument lasting well over an hour, ultimately convincing the jury of our client’s innocence. At the conclusion of the trial, our client walked out of the courtroom a free man. Family members and friends in attendance were overcome with emotion as the verdicts were read, shedding tears of relief and joy at his exoneration.
This successful outcome was the result of tireless preparation, strategic advocacy, and the unwavering commitment of our dedicated staff and father-and-daughter attorney team.
