Tim Molina Hits Two Home Runs

On Behalf of | Nov 1, 2019 | Firm News |

On October 16, 2019, Tim Molina surprisingly concluded a jury trial in Comal County District Court. Tim’s client was wrongfully accused of burglary. After Tim’s cross-examination of the arresting officer, it was clear the charge was bogus. The Court granted a motion for directed verdict. A directed verdict is a tool a competent trial attorney seeks to have the judge declare the state failed to meet its burden of proof – – proof beyond a reasonable doubt that a crime was committed. A directed verdict is a legal declaration by the judge that the state did not even have the most minimum of evidence that a crime was committed. The officer’s testimony on cross-examination was that Tim’s client was charged with the crime for an improper purpose – – so the officer could secure a protective order for the alleged victim.
