RESULTS: Adjudication Probation Not Prison Pornography Case
Our client, a man with intellectual disability issues and no criminal record, faced potential imprisonment after being offered 10 years in prison by the State in a child pornography case. This offer was for an alleged offense with no claims of inappropriate contact with children.
Case Outcome
Attorney Jacob Blizzard successfully negotiated on behalf of the client. By presenting comprehensive mitigating evidence and demonstrating our readiness to take the case to trial, he was able to secure a favorable result.
The State changed its initial offer to deferred adjudication probation, which our client accepted.
Conclusion
This outcome highlights our commitment to advocating vigorously for our clients, ensuring their circumstances are fully understood and considered. Our strategic approach to negotiation and willingness to challenge offers in court can lead to significantly improved results for those we represent.
