Mr. N was accused of taking a person’s wallet out their hand, taunting the person, and then running off with the wallet.  Attorney Levinsohn proved that he was not guilty at trial by showing that this was a case of mistaken identity.  The victim claimed the person who did it was wearing a white shirt. We obtained the security video from Mr. N’s apartment building. With the video from various cameras around the building we proved to the judge that Mr. N was wearing a black tank top and had just come back from the store with groceries and had not been near the the victim.

Chicago Police Officers pulled Mr. J over because he was not wearing his seat belt. Instead of giving him a ticket, the officers searched Mr. J’s car and found a cough syrup bottle containing liquid codeine. At a motion to suppress evidence we proved to the judge that the officer did not have probable cause to grab the cough syrup bottle.  Grabbing the bottle amounted to an illegal search.  The judge ruled that the evidence inside the bottle was not allowed at trial.  The state had to dismiss the case.

Chicago Police Officers claimed that they saw Mr. F engage in a hand to hand drug transaction in the parking lot of a gas station located near 79th and State Street. They stopped Mr. F’s car and searched his vehicle after he could not give the officers a driver’s license. At the motion to suppress, Attorney Levinsohn cross-examined the police officer and proved that the officer did not have probable cause to stop Mr. F’s car. The officer did not see any small objects in Mr. F’s hands. He did not hear Mr. F calling out that he had drugs. No drugs were found in Mr. F’s car. We proved that Mr. F spoke to his friend and then left the gas station. There was no probable cause – case dismissed.

The Chicago Police pulled over Mr. J’s vehicle for a traffic violation.  Then they claimed to have seen open alcohol. And then they said they were given permission to search Mr. J’s trunk where they found a gun. At trial Attorney Levinsohn had the passenger testify and he said that after the police pulled the car over they searched the trunk without permission and that is where the alcohol and gun were located. The judge ruled that it was an illegal search. Case dismissed.
