Gerald Bourque represented the wife of a Harris County Deputy who had been charged with Resisting Arrest.

The incident occurred at a Club in The Woodlands when one of the off-duty Officers asked the Defendant to put her drink down because the Bar was closing.  The Officer claimed that the Defendant refused to comply with his order and when he attempted to arrest her, she resisted.  The Defendant was actually tasered by the off-duty Officer.

We interviewed a number of witnesses who disputed the Officer’s version of events.  Gerald was able to use the witness statements to get the District Attorney to dismiss the charges.

Capital Murder—Acquittal

Mack Arnold represented an unsavory character charged with murder.  Our investigation revealed that the State’s case was based on some very unreliable witnesses, without any credibility.

Mack did a great job getting this point across to the Jury who found the Defendant not guilty.

Everybody on our staff gives their best regards to Mack who is at home recuperating from a recent illness.  Our prayers to Mack for a speedy recovery.  I know a lot of Mack’s clients wanted to visit him but they can’t make bond.

Capital Murder Trial/Favorable Outcome

Gary Polland’s juvenile client, who was not certified as an adult, stood trial in November 2007 for his “role in the incident”.

Our investigation revealed that the State’s cooperating witness was less than truthful about the Defendant’s participation in the shooting. Our investigation also developed information that led the Jury to believe  that the Defendant had no idea that his brother was going to commit a robbery/murder.  In the middle of the trial the State offered the Defendant a five year plea which he accepted.
