DAVID OGLE & DEREK CHANCE,
09.06, Ogle & Welch, OKC, represented a client in Oklahoma County charged with Robbery. The State alleged that a woman employed at a store in a mall had to use a see-through purse to prevent theft. The woman apparently had some petty cash visible in the purse and was standing in line at a store. Client was standing by her and grabs the purse and falls down. The defense was that client had an epileptic seizure and no intent to steal. The rec got steadily better from Assistant DA Sam Chavers, including a deferred on the morning of trial that was rejected by the intrepid client (he must have hunkered down and raised the Black Flag). The State called eight witnesses and rested. During the break, Chavers apparently believed the defense theory of the case and dismissed the case(!) Terrific result because jeopardy had attached and client was truly not guilty. This was the first trial for Derek on the dark side (he's a transplant from the Oklahoma County DA's Office) and David reports that he did very well. Congrats David and Derek!
