JURY SAYS NOT GUILTY! Attorney Alex Pendl went to trial today defending his client against an Endangering Children complaint. Mr. Pendl’s client was charged after a young child she was babysitting walked off the property without the client noticing. The child was found down the road by a neighbor, uninjured. The child’s parents told police they didn’t want to press charges, but the Prosecutor’s Office filed them anyway. After less than 15 minutes of deliberation, the Jury came back with a Not Guilty verdict.

VICTORY ON APPEAL! A case against attorney Alex Pendl’s client was dismissed this week after the Court of Appeals issued a decision reversing the conviction. Mr. Pendl’s client was charged with OVI and a red light violation. At a suppression hearing, Mr. Pendl showed portions of the arresting officer’s cruiser camera and screenshots taken from the video proving that the traffic light was still yellow when his client entered the intersection. Mr. Pendl argued the traffic stop was unlawful. The trial judge denied Mr. Pendl’s motion, so Mr. Pendl appealed the decision. The Second District Court of Appeals issued a unanimous decision holding the traffic stop was unlawful and that all evidence obtained from the traffic stop was inadmissible. With all evidence being suppressed, the prosecutor was forced to dismiss the case.

FULL ACQUITTAL! Last week attorney Alex Pendl went to trial in the Darke County Common Pleas Court. Mr. Pendl’s client was charged with ten felony counts of Endangering Children, facing a potential maximum sentence of eighty to eighty-four years in prison. During the five-day trial, Mr. Pendl presented evidence that before the alleged victim went to the police, she had blackmailed his client and threatened to “ruin” him if he didn’t do what she wanted. Mr. Pendl also demonstrated how the forensic evidence did not match the alleged victim’s story. After almost two hours of deliberation, the jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty on all ten counts.
