Our client was facing many decades in prison for shooting an individual in North Minneapolis. There was no plea agreement short of nearly three decades in prison the entire year the case was pending. Ryan Garry and team had a legitimate self-defense claim, prepared the case extensively, and on the morning of trial when we were about to start jury selection the prosecutor came with a last minute offer of which was essentially 5 years on the murder charge (our client was already going to serve 5 years because he was a felon in possession of a firearm). Not all victories come with a “not-guilty” verdicts … our client was extremely happy that he will soon be out to be an active father to his children again.
