Client was arrested for the charge of fleeing or attempting to elude a law enforcement officer. When the crime was being committed, the client was at work. We provided time cards showing he was at work to the State, but they persisted with the prosecution of him anyway. At trial the officers testified that they only saw the driver for less than 10 seconds, and all they saw was a black male with dreadlocks. The car was registered to a woman that the client had not spent any time with in over a year and a half. The police found one picture of my client, and decided he was the perpetrator of this crime and didn’t bother to keep investigating any longer to see of anyone else that was associated with the woman also fit the discerption of the driver. The jury deliberated for about 30 minuets before coming back Not Guilty.
