Landmark Case Highlight
Our team’s dedication to seeking justice was proven in this US federal court victory. Attorney Jacob Blizzard successfully defended Royce Duane Donaldson, who was accused of felon in possession of a firearm.
Mr. Donaldson faced up to 10 years in prison if convicted, but with Attorney Blizzard’s expert defense, the jury returned a resounding not guilty verdict.
Case Overview
Donaldson’s case was deeply rooted in necessity and self-defense. On June 18, 2018, Donaldson was forced to protect himself when George Mark, a known violent individual, intruded with a butcher knife.
The firearm, coincidentally left at the scene by Mark himself, was Donaldson’s only option for survival. Despite his justifiable actions, Donaldson faced federal firearm possession charges.
Building a Strong Defense
Necessity Argument: Attorney Blizzard successfully demonstrated that the possession of the firearm was crucial to Donaldson’s immediate survival.
Self-Defense Narrative: Witness statements and evidence painted a clear picture of imminent danger and Donaldson’s lack of alternatives.
Compelling Evidence: Carefully selected exhibits proved Donaldson’s numerous attempts to seek law enforcement protection and highlighted Mark’s history of violent behavior.
The jury’s verdict not only saved Donaldson from a wrongful conviction but also laid the groundwork for addressing related charges. This case is a testament to the power of expert legal defense.
