Takakjian & Sitkoff Wins New Trial for Innocent Man Who Accepted Sex Crime Plea
Formerly serving a long sentence and facing lifetime registration as a sex offender, a previously convicted man was released from state prison and granted a new trial by a Los Angeles Superior Court Judge. Thanks to the hard work of the criminal defense attorneys at Takakjian & Sitkoff, LLP, and over the vigorous objections of the Los Angeles District Attorney's Office, the man's guilty plea was thrown out after it was proved that he was in another state entirely when the sex crime in question was said to have taken place. One of a long string of positive results for the practice's clients, this recent Takakjian & Sitkoff victory gives a wrongly accused person a new chance at life even after the lawyer who first represented him convinced him to plead guilty.
