JAMES DENNIS,
(OCDW 10.30.06) OIDS in Sapulpa, won an acquittal in a case with peculiar facts. Get this: the client caught a thief trying to siphon gas out of his car, at night, in the client's driveway. Client fired a warning shot with a .410 shotgun and a second shot a little closer that caught thief in the pattern with some pellets in the backside. The prosecutor, Pamela Hammers in Creek County, declined to charge the thief and the accomplice, but charged the client with shooting with intent to injure(!?) James ran into some judicial hostility from Judge Douglas Golden but prevailed anyway. Creekmore Wallace reported that he saw a little bit of the testimony, as well as jurors chewing and spitting tobacco who were very disinclined to convict under the circumstances. Terrific advocacy, James!
