Murder
A past client (Mr. C) had a friend who felt revenge toward another man. The client and his friend went to another man's property and dug a grave. The landowner later testified that the men told him not to call the police if they returned late that same night. The following day, the landowner saw that the grave was covered up and dug down until he felt a body. The police were called. While the police were conducting their investigation, Mr. C pulled up in his car. In the trunk, were trashbags filled with the bloody headliner from the car used to transport the dead body. He was arrested along with his friend. At trial, he testified that he had loaned his car to his friend and had nothing to do with the murder. The other man did not testify. There was no motive for the client to have committed the murder and the jury found a reasonable doubt as to his involvement. They found him not guilty but found his co- defendant guilty.
