United States v. B.S. (District of Minnesota 2018)

The client was a juvenile charged with Assault with Intent to Commit Murder. The government was threatening to prosecute the client as an adult. After careful and extensive investigation, I and my co-counsel negotiated a settlement where the client admitted committing Assault Causing Bodily Injury, a much less serious offense. More importantly, the client will stay in the juvenile system, getting needed therapy, education, and rehabilitation, and the client will not be saddled with the burden of an adult felony conviction.
