HIGH PROFILE CASES
A Case of Mistaken Identity Overturned
A young man who was convicted with other counsel in a road rage shooting case was sentenced to 43 years in prison. Mr. Beers successfully proved that the attorney was incompetent and the identification was faulty. Eventually, the state dropped the case. This high profile case secured the freedom of an innocent young man who had been wrongly convicted.
Baseball Player Wins Freedom
Another notable case involved a retired professional Major League baseball player and winning World Series pitcher, accused of robbing a jewelry store. He went to trial and was found not guilty with the unique defense of insanity by voluntary intoxication due to his correct use of various prescription medications that were lawfully prescribed to him. These medications caused him depression, suicidal thoughts , hostility, emotional inability and impaired judgment thus making it a delusional episode which showed he had no intent to rob or any idea why this robbery occurred.
