Commonwealth v. David Owen. Our client was a health care worker at Owensboro Hospital who was charged with sexually assaulting a patient during an EEG examination. In a high profile trial, our client was acquitted of all charges.
Commonwealth v. James Mallory. The firm was hired by a major American corporation to represent Mr. Mallory in a death penalty case. The firm was selected as counsel in the first case in the United States in which this corporation assisted a criminal defendant. Mr. Mallory's case had been pending for nine years without a trial. The case involved complicated forensic science and nearly every hot button criminal justice issue. After a year of litigation, we were able to resolve this death penalty case for reduced charges whereby our client will be released in approximately two to five years.
