First trials don't usually look like this. In his very first jury trial — and first trial ever — defense attorney Jared faced a client staring down multiple robbery charges and a possible life sentence.
The state leaned hard on DNA evidence to seal the deal. But Jared wasn't playing defense — he went on the offensive. With a cross-examination worthy of Wimbledon, he got the prosecution's DNA expert to admit that the supposedly damning evidence wasn't actually reliable.
The jury saw through the state's case, and Jared's client walked free with a not guilty. An underdog story, a rookie trial lawyer, and a defense win that shows why truth beats lab coats every time.
