Defense attorney Ryan Sullivan out of Massachusetts casts doubt on his own client's confession to win an acquittal on all charges in a gun possession case.
The defendant — a young shoe salesman who had been shot six times — faced a mandatory 1.5-year minimum sentence under Massachusetts's draconian gun laws that punished possessing a firearm for protection that was clearly needed. Ryan masterfully unravels the prosecution's case and challenges the reliability of the confession itself, turning what seemed like a sure conviction into a complete not guilty.
