This is what NOT GUILTY looks like! Mary, Takura, and Lizzy recently heard not guilty from a wonderful Macomb County jury in an assault with a dangerous weapon case. Our client can now move on with his life without this serious felony hanging over his head. Well done, C&N!

Three years ago this month, Jeff Titus was exonerated after being wrongfully convicted and spending over 21 years in prison. C&N was proud to be part of the exoneration team for Jeff! Jeff is a reminder that we must all fight against wrongful convictions and free those who are wrongfully imprisoned.

In a jury trial, closing arguments are critically important because they serve as the final, persuasive takeaway that summarizes evidence, restates the theory of the case, and leaves a lasting impression with the jurors. Takura was one of the faculty members for the Michigan Indigent Defense Commission’s most recent training on closing arguments. Not surprisingly, his faculty demonstration left a lasting impression on the participants. Here’s to more two-word verdicts!

Last week, members of C&N enjoyed a night of networking and fun at the WLAM Mid-Michigan Region’s Annual Meeting. Mary and Marisa were highlighted for some of their accomplishments over the past year, and everyone had a great time making charm bracelets as part of the event—even Nick! This was such a fun way to relieve some stress after work and to connect with others. Thanks for a wonderful event, WLAM!

Huge congratulations to our law clerk, Maisy, on her recent graduation from law school! While we are sad to see her go, we couldn't be prouder to see her take this next step.

Maisy is heading off to start her career as an attorney at the Salt Lake City Public Defender’s Office. Her dedication to justice and her tireless work ethic have been such an asset to our team. We know she’s going to be a fierce advocate for her clients in Utah.

Good luck, Maisy! They are lucky to have you.

As a teenager, C&N’s client was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. Due to changes in the law regarding juvenile lifer laws that allow a potential for resentencing, Takura ultimately achieved a sentence that will allow our client to soon be released and get a second chance at life. Takura focused on our client’s significant rehabilitation and other mitigating factors to show that he will be a productive community member when released.
