Pittsburgh Criminal Defense and Injury Attorney, Frank Walker of Frank Walker Law, was Found Guilty of doing a Good Deed for a local Youth Group Pastor in need of technological upgrade.

The events unfolded during a text message exchange between friends, “Pastor Ryan Deal and I were texting back and forth about Fantasy Football Scores and he started mentioning the need of an IPAD for his Youth Group CODED at Walnut Grove Assembly of God Church”, says Walker,  “without him even asking, I immediately saw an opportunity to give to a wonderful cause, so we purchased an Apple IPAD and donated it to the Church for use with the Youth Group and other activities.”

“Pastor Ryan does awesome work in the community with the youth by reaching a generation of future leaders during the teenage years”, declares Walker,  “anytime we have a chance to positively impact our youth through organizations and ministries like CODED Youth we must seize the opportunity instead of complaining of misguided young adults making poor decisions later in life.”

When the Sole Witness’ Version of Events is Called into Question

Criminal Lawyer Frank Walker Law

A man has been arrested for allegedly stabbing his girlfriend’s son to death in Fineview. The criminal complaint filed about the incident stated that the 43-year-old suspect stabbed the 22-year-old victim inside his mother’s home during an altercation between the two men. The woman stated in the complaint that she and the suspect had been dating for the last eight months and that over the last three months he had begun a pattern of physically abusing her. According to the complaint, one of the instances of abuse had the man kicking the woman and stomping on her leg then throwing her violently to the ground and searing her abdomen with the lit end of a burning cigarette.

She stated that the suspect had left the home on Saturday night to go out and returned early Sunday morning. When he arrived, he told her that their relationship was over and began packing his things. She said that he then started choking her and then left the house. He left the room that they were in and returned a few minutes later holding a bloody butcher knife, telling her that she was next. She managed to escape the room and found her son lying unresponsive near a door. The suspect is faced with charges of assault and criminal homicide.

These kinds of cases can often be difficult and complex. Due to the emotionally charged nature of the incident, and the vested interest of the witness -the mother – the defense will likely attempt to call her version of events into question. Also, it remains to be seen if there was any self-defense motive in the alleged killing.

Hard Hitting Representation | Pittsburgh Criminal Defense

 

When More Witnesses Equals Less Certainty #PittsburghLawyer

Frank Walker Law Criminal Defense Lawyer

Police recently arrested a Brookline after he unintentionally shot a 15-year-old girl while firing “indiscriminately” into a large crowd of people. The 20-year-old suspect is facing several charges including simple assault with a deadly weapon, carrying a firearm without a license, discharging a firearm into an occupied structure, and two counts of reckless endangerment of another person. According to police reports, the shooting took place just after 1am in Brookline. Between 50 and 100 young adults were leaving a party at a house on Bellaire Avenue when a fight broke out between a number of the party’s attendees.

It was at this point that the suspect pulled out a gun and began firing randomly into the crowd. The 15-year-old victim was hit in the shoulder and subsequently taken to a nearby hospital where she was treated and released. Another bullet hit a nearby house, however, where a family of five – including three small children – was sleeping. There were no injuries at that location.

In such a chaotic situation, one involving up to one hundred witnesses or more, it is almost certain that there will be dozens of testimonials – all giving a slightly different version of events. This is one reason that large witness pools can be difficult for the prosecution: they tend to conflict on even the most basic details.

This is why it is extremely important to contact a Criminal Lawyer immediately upon your arrest. Most Criminal Lawyers work with investigators that will help gather statements, video surveillance and other evidence that may disappear or change drastically over time.
