Lubbock Criminal Defense Lawyers Association

Chuck had a win yesterday in JP4. He got a 20 minute NOT GUILTY from a jury. His client was charged with Purchasing Turtles without a Permit. (Yes, really.) It took all day, but the end result was: Chuck Lanehart 1, Ace Ventura 0. Great job, Chuck!

Prosecution offered 60 days to a 42-year-old professional female client on her first offense DWI with open container. She was on pre-trial diversion and they violated her. They used confession in guilt innocence. Verdict came back as guilty. However, the jury gave a 6 day minimum with $2,000 fine, but they suspended both!
