The defense overcame an exceptionally resource-intensive prosecution. The jury returned acquittals on every count and gave Craig Platt a standing ovation in the courtroom.

The defense defeated an attempted contempt action tied to cross-examination and raised prosecutorial-misconduct issues while continuing to present the case to the jury.

A legal argument accepted during trial removed all but roughly $1,000 of the allegations. The jury rejected the remaining charge and acquitted the client.

The defense addressed the prejudice created by that testimony. The jury returned a not-guilty verdict after approximately three minutes of deliberation.

Detailed cross-examination focused on the documentary trail the prosecution relied on. The gaps in that proof created reasonable doubt.

Although the prosecution characterized the client as caught in the act, the jury acquitted. After trial, another defense attorney requested a transcript of Craig’s closing argument.

The defense obtained an acquittal despite the physical evidence. The result later contributed to a judge referring to Craig as “the magician.”

Cross-examination established that the key witness could not reliably distinguish between two different uncles, supporting a mistaken-identity defense.

The defense emphasized that police had not provided meaningful access to counsel after arrest. The jury acquitted despite substantial evidence presented by the prosecution.

The defense presented alternative theories after identifying weaknesses in the original alibi evidence. The judge later praised the closing argument’s handling of those theories.

Through cross-examination, the witness acknowledged uncertainty about what she had actually observed, creating reasonable doubt for the jury.

The defense raised evidence-disclosure and cross-examination issues. The court ultimately gave the jury a special corrective instruction drafted by Craig Platt.
