Rape Charge Reduced to Probation, July 2023

Client was charged with one count of rape for an incident that was reported months after the alleged crime occurred.

After Leslie conducted pre-trial hearings challenging certain aspects of the State’s evidence, the State agreed to reduce the charge to a much lesser charge, so that Client would no longer be facing a possible life sentence.

Client received a first offender probation sentence with credit-for-time served. Once completed, the first offender sentence will permit Client to have a clean record without a conviction.
