AMBER GILL
traveled from her home base in Enid to the great city (okay, town) of Cherokee, Oklahoma (Alfalfa County) to defend her client against an accusation of first degree rape. Her great work was rewarded on Thursday, February 17, 2005 when the jury filed into the courtroom and announced, "Not Guilty." Amber tried the case before Judge Loren Angle. Brian Mitchell and Hollis Thorpe prosecuted. Complaining witness was client's ex-wife who claimed client raped her and beat her up. Defense was consensual sex and ex-wife was beaten up by another person at a later time. The case proceeded on an all-or-nothing basis–no lesser included instructions requested by the defense. Ex-wife testified and was impeached by inconsistent/implausible statements. Client testified in his own behalf and did well. Great job, Amber.
