People v. LB

- This was a first-degree murder case, where the client allegedly shot a rival gang drug dealer to death in a crowded parking lot. The Defendant faced 20 to 60 years in prison. After trial, there was a finding of Not Guilty, due to self-defense and/or a “Lynch defense.” The Defense was able to show that the victim had a propensity for violence, via Chicago Police detectives, and that he had the legal right to shoot first, because of his fear of death or great bodily harm. The Defendant was totally exonerated.
