Attorney Hoover earns Not Guilty in assault trial

Thursday December 10, 2009

Today Attorney Hoover was able to secure a complete and total acquittal on behalf of J.G. A jury of twelve citizens of Lebanon County deliberated for less than an hour before finding Mr. Gardner not guilty of the crime of simple assault.

The afternoon trial consisted of testimony presented by the Commonwealth through three witnesses. First, Mr. G’s own mother was called as a witness against him. Second, Mr. G’s wife was compelled to testify against her husband as she was the alleged victim. Finally, an Officer of the Lebanon City Police Department testified before the jury as he was the first law enforcement officer to respond after having been called by the neighbors. In addition, the Commonwealth introduced an eight (8) page statement that was hand-written by Mrs. G shortly after the alleged incident took place.

Despite this testimony and through careful cross-examination by Attorney Hoover, the jury returned a verdict of not guilty after less than an hour of deliberations.
