A client came to Piel Law Office after being charged with First Degree Sexual Assault of a Child, one of the most serious criminal allegations under Wisconsin law.
During the preliminary hearing, the prosecution presented evidence that the defense believed raised significant questions. Despite those concerns, the case was bound over for trial.
As the case moved forward, the defense conducted an extensive review of discovery and filed multiple motions addressing issues in the prosecution’s case. To further develop the defense, an independent investigator was retained to examine the evidence more closely.
The investigation uncovered information that became central to the defense strategy. After additional motions were filed presenting these findings, the prosecution dismissed the charge before the case proceeded to trial.
