Our client’s dad hired Temani, after she defended herself in an altercation. Our client was called to assist a relative who was being bullied by a neighbor. The neighbor and her friends began taunting our client via Facebook, in order to have our client come fight. After a physical altercation, our client was leaving the location when the alleged “victim” hit our client’s car with a baseball bat, and shot at her car. In self defense, our client shot back and left the scene.
After reviewing the evidence in the case, Temani went to the crime scene herself, and was immediately able to determine that the victim was lying. Temani was able to show the prosecutor that there was crossfire, which indicated that the victim also had a gun. Temani also produced a video, and affidavits of several witnesses. After reviewing all of the evidence that Temani presented, the prosecutor reduced the charge to a Class C misdemeanor, the lowest offense level in Texas, and that ticket was dismissed. Our client went from facing 2-20 years in jail, to walking away with no record.
