Two Word Verdicts

Hey everyone,

Sorry it has been so long. First, the holidays came and went. Then Tish and I had our first anniversary (it is hard to believe it has already been a year). The I had my first trial ever. My client was charged with Possession, with Intent to Deliver a Controlled Substance between 4-200 grams. That is a first degree felony, which means it is pretty much as bad as it gets. The only thing worse than a first degree felony is capital murder (or a death penalty case). The range of punishment was 15 -99 years or life. Anyway on Monday we picked a jury and on Tuesday we tried the case. It was a pretty stressful situation. But I really exceeded my own expectations. The judge overruled everything we presented (no surprise). But yesterday afternoon after three and a half hours of deliberation the jury came back not guilty. I almost fell over.
