Case: STATE V. D.R.

01 Jan Case: STATE V. D.R.

The defendant was charged with attempted first degree murder and aggravated battery. The defendant stabbed the alleged victim in a bar fight. The accuser made several allegations at trial which were not consistent with his pre-trial deposition testimony. Also, the defense argued self defense since the accuser attacked the defendant first according to eye witness statements. The jury found the defendant not guilty on both counts. If convicted, the defendant would have been sent to prison for the rest of his life.
