Nationally, within the U.S., he recently obtained an acquittal for a defendant charged with six counts of first degree murder, after a jury trial before the Circuit Court of Cook County and, he has represented numerous persons being detained by police on potential murder charges that were never brought because of his early intervention and invocation of their rights under the Constitution.
