Wrongful Conviction. New Trial. Justice Achieved.

The client was accused of sexually assaulting the five-year-old daughter of his former girlfriend.

After being convicted by a jury in 2018, he spent the following eight years in prison while continuing to challenge his conviction.

The Client Maintained His Innocence

Following a motion for a new trial under MCR 6.500 and a contested Ginther hearing held over several days, the court found that trial counsel was constitutionally ineffective for:

• Failing to retain and consult with an expert regarding allegations of sexual assault involving a young child.
• Failing to adequately address expert testimony presented by the prosecution.

The result: A new trial.
