RESULTS: Jury finds elementary school teacher not guilty
Our client, a dedicated elementary school teacher, faced serious charges of injury to a child. Accusations were made that she had slapped her second-grade student during class. Such allegations not only threatened her professional reputation but also her personal life.
Defense Strategy
Criminal defense attorney Jacob Blizzard took on the case with a clear strategy. His defense centered on demonstrating to the jury that the incident was a misunderstanding. The child misinterpreted the teacher’s intent, and the contact was accidental rather than malicious. Mr. Blizzard presented evidence and arguments that convincingly showed the child’s account of the incident as overstated regarding the impact.
Outcome
After a brief 25-minute deliberation, the jury returned with a not guilty verdict. This swift decision underscored the effectiveness of Mr. Blizzard’s defense strategy and restored our client’s reputation and peace of mind.
