State v. H.S.

State v. H.S.

Client was arrested and charged with three Armed Robberies and was facing a minimum mandatory of 40 years for allegedly using a firearm during the robberies (under Florida’s 10-20-Life law). At the time of his arrest, client adamantly denied committing the robberies. James Boyle took over representation of J.H. after he had been in police custody for more than 15 months. After thoroughly reviewing the allegations and evidence, James Boyle identified numerous significant issues with the case, including wrongful or unreliable identifications of J.H.by the witnesses, sloppy police work by JSO investigators, prosecutors not properly disclosing information important to the defense and the fact that J.H. was at work when two of the three robberies were committed. As a result of these issues, J.H. was released from custody and all charges were dismissed by the prosecutors.
