Greensboro Criminal Lawyer
Convicted in 2017, in the killing of a husband and a son-in-law, a court ruling has allowed them to have a new trial. Our Greensboro criminal lawyer was advised that the they’re going to get a new trial as the court ruled that they were unable to get a full and fair trial due to testimony that was omitted.
A North Carolina Superior Court Judge set their bonds at 0,00.
Both bonded out fairly quickly after being in custody for a number of years. Both had been sentenced to 20-25 years after being convicted of second-degree murder.
Our top rated lawyer in Greensboro was told that due to errors in the case, the appeals court overturned their convictions. And then in March 2021, the NC Supreme Court ruled that they should get a new trial.
There is concern from the victim’s family that the two of them could receive a better plea deal based on the circumstances surrounding the case. His family wants there to be another trial and for the DA not to offer anything better than they previously received according to a family lawyer in Greensboro. The dilemma for the district attorney’s office is that there’s such a backlog of cases, including murders, which would mean they would have to fit this murder case in along with all of the others who have been stuck in custody awaiting trial for years.
