Charge:
Malicious Punishment
Not Guilty
Verdict:
Justice:
Client was charged with Malicious Punishment of a child for allegedly harming his child in a pharmacy store. The store manager called the police and said that he witnessed the assault and demanded that Client be arrested. Client was arrested in front of his daughter and taken to jail. At trial, attorney Paul D. Sellers demanded that the store manager hand over the surveillance video to see what really happened in the store. The manager admitted that although there were other people in the store, somehow he was the only one who heard or saw the child abuse. Then he refused to show the video from the part of the store where he said it happened. The jury was horrified that he had falsely accused a wonderful dad. It was a very quick Not Guilty verdict for Paul D. Sellers and Minnesota Legal Defense.
