State v. J.S.

Plea to a misdemeanor riot and fifth degree assault. Mr. Adkins may have outdone himself, here. This case concerned an all out melee, neighbors fighting with farm implements and (sharp!) garden tools, resulting in two deaths… but after nearly five years of wrangling, and a multitude of close calls on motions to dismiss, the case finally resolved as a misdemeanor riot, and fifth degree assault, with a plan for expungement after a very short term of probation. Complex jurisdictional arguments and a double jeopardy debate made this result achievable, but man alive, not predictable… and the client can return to his life without fear, without unreasonable sanctions, and with a new lease on life. Fantastic results.
