Baltimore: Defense Against Robbery and Burglary Charges
There are three keys to successful defense of most burglary and armed robbery charges: challenging witness identification, examining the defendant's conduct, and challenging the forensic evidence.
I have gotten positive results for dozens of clients against armed robbery and burglary charges, as well as other violent crimes. If you or someone you know has been arrested and charged with armed robbery or burglary, contact my office immediately to schedule a free and confidential consultation.
Challenging Witness Identification in an Armed Robbery Case
Verdict: Not Guilty
My client was charged with seven counts of armed robbery. He and other co-defendants were accused of using a female friend to act as a prostitute and lure men into an alley, where my client and the co-defendants allegedly robbed and sometimes shot the victims.
In the trial of the first case, I successfully challenged the alleged victim's eyewitness identification of my client. I pressed him until he admitted that he was not certain that my client was the man who had robbed and shot him.
The jury returned with a not guilty verdict for my client.
Defending Burglary Charges Based on the Defendant's Conduct
In home burglary cases, my defense frequently centers on my client's conduct. To convict someone for burglary, the state's attorney has to prove that the defendant had the intent of stealing items in the house. Depending on the facts of the case, I have sometimes successfully argued that my client went into the house with innocent intentions, for example after being told by a friend that he was helping to move out of the house.
