Attorney Nettie Rauch with ANOTHER not guilty homicide verdict (self-defense case). Big relief to our client whose life was hanging in the balance.

ANOTHER not guilty for Nettie on a first degree intentional homicide case!

Today Nettie got to see her client out of custody for the first time since January.

Nettie’s client got his life back, thanks to her tireless advocacy.

We are so happy for the client and his family ❤️⚖️
