After neighbors were evicted, my client (a Korean War vet) pulled the rod iron gate that was falling down into his own backyard with the help of another neighbor. Only after we showed the prosecution the letter that my client had left the neighbor stating that the gate was in my client’s back yard and to come pick it up, did the case get dismissed. Again – ridiculous! (this is one that I bring up when people ask me how I defend criminals)
