KEVIN ADAMS
(Tulsa) represented a fellow who listened to the GnR song "Used to Love Her" and took it literally---a little too literally. The State alleged: client and his former-fiancee got into fisticuffs, she hit him with a bottle, knocked him down and got an iron grip on his balls; he strangled her to death, panicked, staged a break-in and tried to make it look like a rape, ran from the cops, resisted arrest, and then lied about it all when he got caught. The prosecution got the crazy idea to charge him with Murder I and had the temerity to offer only LIFE(!) Enter Kevin. A little razzle, a little dazzle, a little client testimony and voila! You get 25 on a Murder II with plenty of credit for time served and some daylight at the end of the tunnel. Client had no priors and testified to support the defense of self-defense which the jury did not buy totally, but enough to avoid the Big One. Super job, Kevin!
01.06 (Tulsa) was hired after jury trial that resulted in a conviction and, at sentencing, convinced the judge that the statute of limitations had been violated in a lewd acts case and got the thing dismissed(!) You would think if ever there was a happy client it was that guy! Super job, Kevin.
