NOT GUILTY!

Attorney Jack VanBibber recently obtained another Not Guilty verdict following a two (2) day long jury trial in the Marion County Common Pleas Court in Case No.: 2022-CR-0144.

Our client was an inmate at the North Central Correctional Complex who was accused of aggravated possession of drugs following a report by a corrections officer that our client had possessed an address book, which was later found to be laced with synthetic ma*****na following testing of the same by the Ohio State Highway Patrol. The corrections officer reported that our client had the address book in question in his hand, which contained the synthetic ma*****na, and that our client attempted to conceal said address book when questioned about the same by the corrections officer.

The facts as alleged by the corrections officer and the Marion County Prosecutor’s Office presented another daunting task for the Defense, but attorney VanBibber argued that the defendant did not know the drugs were in the address book as they were placed there by the defendant’s cell mate without the defendant’s knowledge. Attorney VanBibber also fought vigorously to keep out an instruction to the jury which would have allowed the jury to consider that the defendant did not have to know what the underlying substance was, and following attorney VanBibber’s arguments the Court agreed to keep said instruction out of the instructions which were presented to the jury. Successfully arguing an essential element is a difficult task, but was successfully done by attorney VanBibber in this case.

Our office is incredibly proud that we were able to aid our client in proving his innocence and could not be more happy with the outcome. We will fight for every client at every turn, no matter how insurmountable the case against our client may seem. We fight to ensure our clients get the best possible outcome and will make sure your rights are always protected.

If you or someone you know has been wrongly accused of a crime and you need to know how to protect your rights and your freedom then contact us immediately by email at [email protected], by phone at 740-914-4135, or stop by our office located at 198 East Center Street, Marion, Ohio 43302, to speak with attorney VanBibber to see how we can help.

NOT GUILTY!

Attorney Jack VanBibber recently obtained a Not Guilty verdict following a day long jury trial in the Marion County Common Pleas Court in Case No.: 2022-CR-0003.

Our client was an inmate at the North Central Correctional Complex who was accused of aggravated possession of drugs following a report by a corrections officer that our client had possessed a magazine, which was later found to be laced with synthetic ma*****na following testing of the same by the Ohio State Highway Patrol. The officer reported that our client had the magazine in question in his hand, and that he attempted to discard the magazine on his way to a search by the reporting corrections officer.

The facts as alleged by the corrections officer and the Marion County Prosecutor’s Office presented a daunting task for the Defense, but through a meticulous selection of the Jury and a vigorous cross examination of the reporting corrections officer, we were able to prove that our client never possessed the magazine in question and that another individual was actually culpable for the crime of which our client was falsely accused.

Our office is incredibly proud that we were able to aid our client in proving his innocence and could not be more happy with the outcome. We will fight for every client at every turn, no matter how insurmountable the case against our client may seem. We fight to ensure our clients get the best possible outcome and will make sure your rights are always protected.

I can’t express how much I enjoy working in a legal community that has things like this happen and enable the court staff, Judges, attorneys, and even the defendants to interact in an environment that lightens the mood of the typical serious situations which we deal with day in and day out.
