Derek Andrews secured a complete acquittal on behalf of a Larkin Ingrassia, PLLC client following a four-day jury trial in Newburgh City Court (Orange County). Our client was charged with Forcible Touching, Sexual Abuse in the Third Degree, and Endangering the Welfare of a Child stemming from allegations that he had inappropriately touched a family member while at his house. He maintained his innocence throughout the entire case. Due to zealous advocacy throughout the trial, including an effective cross examination of the government’s witnesses, including the complainant and a friend to whom the complainant allegedly made a prompt outcry, the jury unanimously voted not guilty on all counts. The jury agreed that the complainant lacked credibility and believed that our client was innocent. This result followed months of in-depth investigation, thoughtful analysis of the government’s case and available defenses, a dismantling of the prosecution’s case through motion practice, and careful preparation of defense witnesses to testify favorably on behalf of our client.
