My client was facing serious felony charges related to a residential robbery. My discussions with my client led to diligent investigation. We discovered that my client had already pled guilty to misdemeanor charges that arose from the same arrest that formed the basis for the felony charges. I argued to the court that, because my client had already faced consequences from the charged incident, further prosecution was barred. The judge agreed. The felony case was dismissed and my client was released from custody.
