JOHN W. COYLE, III, and JOHN W. (Billy) COYLE, IV

(Oklahoma City)--he's baaaaaaack!!!  Johnny and Billy tried a federal credit card fraud case (three counts) in front of Judge Leonard and a jury of the client's peers last week.  AUSA was Jim Robinson.  Client accused of credit card fraud by using credit cards of her deceased father while she was wrapping up his estate and with every intention of paying off the cards and settling his affairs.  Absolutely no reason why this case should have ever been presented to a grand jury.  Client took the stand in her own defense and just explained what she did.  Not guilty on all counts.  Johnny apparently caught a Secret Service agent being economical with the truth, or as some readers will recall from a case a few months back, using "simulated information" and Judge Leonard had some exceedingly harsh words to say about it after the verdict, but I was not there to hear exactly what he said.  Good lawyering!
