Burglary 1st Degree
- Theft Crimes
Not Guilty
Court: Oconee General Sessions Court; Walhalla, SC
Original Charge: Burglary 1st Degree
Original Penalty: 15 year mandatory minimum without parole to LIFE
Result: Not Guilty
The state made an offer of 8 years. Client was 16 at the time of the arrest.
State tried as an adult. If convicted, client would have received a mandatory
minimum, no parole sentence of 15 years to LIFE. Clients fingerprint was
found on a jewelry box in the home. However, client had spent the night
in the home multiple times prior to the burglary. Homeowner testified
that no kids were ever allowed in her room. She said my client had only
been to the house once in the past year and a half. She then for the first
time ever testified that she wiped the jewelry box a week before the burglary.
When I accused her of making this up recently, she said she told the officer.
When the officer took the stand, I asked him if she told him that she wiped
the box. He said that he would have put that in his report. I also brought
up that he was wearing a body camera for 2 hours in the house. He testified
that he reviewed the footage and still never remembered her saying she
wiped the box. Officer also failed to dust for prints on the door knob
and railings. He testified under cross that prints would last indefinitely
if climate controlled and not disturbed.
The homeowner's son testified a day after his mother. Said that my
client knew the back door could be opened with credit card. Also that
my client knew there were guns in master bedroom. I asked “how did
the defendant know there were guns in there?” He admitted that kids
were often in that master bedroom when his parents weren’t home.
They used the bathroom when several kids stayed over etc. Said my client
was there between 5-20 times that summer.
The only issue was whether she recently wiped the box. In closing, I argued
that the pics of the bedroom showed a dirty room. Dirty nightstand. Do
you wash dishes and set them on a dirty table? I argued that the homeowner
did not wipe the box a week before the burglary and that my clients print
was placed there when he spent the night.
Jury found client not guilty
