Assault With a Dangerous Weapon (Felonious Assault) – MCL 750.82 – Dismissed
Felony Firearm – MCL 750.227b – Dismissed
A 22-year-old woman was charged with Assault with a Dangerous Weapon (felonious assault) and Felony Firearm. These charges carried the potential for up to four years in prison and fines for the assault charge, and a mandatory two-year prison sentence for the felony firearm count.
Attorney Carl Jordan challenged the prosecution’s case, arguing that the evidence was insufficient to establish guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. After reviewing the arguments, the court dismissed all charges. The client's fingerprints and arrest records were returned.
