Chicago Police arrested our client at her ex-boyfriend’s house on Avenue J. She went there to retrieve some of her belongings and when he did not give them to her she confronted him. Her ex did not want to hear it so he dragged her down the front stairs and repeatedly punched her. She scratched and bit him. When the police arrived, the ex-boyfriend lied to the police by telling them that she started the fight. At trial, Attorney Levinsohn presented the court with pictures of our client’s extensive injuries and proved that it was the ex-boyfriend that started the fight. Finding of NOT GUILTY.

Our client saw that his friend and codefendant Jones had accidently shot himself. Someone else had already called for an ambulance but our client saw the gun lying in vestibule of the building where he lived. He did not want any of the kids that lived there to get a hold of the gun and hurt themselves so he hid it under a mattress until the police arrived. Chicago Police Officers arrested our client because he had a felony in his background and he touched the gun. At trial we proved to the judge that our client was justified in moving the gun out of the front hallway so no one else would get hurt. Finding of NOT GUILTY.

Chicago Police Officers obtained a search warrant for our client and for 9122 S. Perry Avenue. When the officers arrived at the house to search, our client was outside in his car. The officers searched the home and found cannabis. At trial, Attorney Levinsohn proved to the judge that our client did not live at 9122 S. Perry. We proved that the people that the police found in the house, Archie Washington and his daughter Roxann Garrett were the ones that lived there. In the end we were able to show that our client had no knowledge of that cannabis. Finding of NOT GUILTY.

Chicago Police Officers claimed that they went to the area of 9028 S. Escanaba because they received a call of a person selling drugs. When they arrived they ordered my client out of his car and made him spit a bag out his mouth that contained drugs. At a motion to suppress evidence, Attorney Levinsohn proved to the judge that the officers did not have probable cause or reasonable suspicion to order my client out of his car. The officers had not corroborated any of the information about a person selling drugs on Escanaba. The detention and search was unlawful, the judge did not allow the drugs to be used against my client at trial. The state had no choice but to DISMISS the case.
