Not Guilty Verdict

Mitchell Ansell, Chairman of the Criminal Defense Department, recently tried a first degree robbery, second degree aggravated assault and second degree burglary Jury trial in Monmouth County Superior Court before Judge Joseph Oxley.  The case was tried during the week of August the 29th 2013 and our client was facing well over 20 years in State Prison based upon all the charges.  

The Jury came back with a not guilty verdict on all first and second degree charges after the trial, thus sparing the client any exposure to any State Prison whatsoever.
