State v. J.H.

Case dismissed prior to trial. Our client was a young man who was wrongfully accused of rape. Knowing he was innocent, the North Star team quickly retained an investigative team that diligently explored the complicated set of facts that led to the two individuals being together. And through this detailed investigation and aggressive pursuit of the truth, it quickly became apparent that much of the allegations did not have factual support. Witnesses began to tell different versions of events and provide more details about the complaining witness's background. Through this all, the North Star team knew how to respectfully, yet forcefully, explain the true facts of the evening to the prosecutor. Prior to trial, the prosecutor knew she could not pursue the case anymore. The interests of justice demanded that our client not even be taken to trial. The case was dismissed because justice demanded it.
