Lamar A. was charged with first degree attempted murder including enhancements alleged for causing great bodily injury, personal use of a firearm, and having a prior strike conviction. He was also charged with felon in possession of a firearm. He was facing more than 28 years to life in state prison.  He allegedly shot the complaining witness in the back of the head during a gun sale gone wrong. The complaining witness survived but had brain damage and paralysis on one side of his body. Mr. Wright conducted a comprehensive investigation and was able to expose significant problems with the prosecution’s case. As a result, the prosecutor agreed to allow Mr. Anderson to please to assault by means of force likely to produce great bodily injury (a non-strike offense) and admit his prior strike conviction for six years in state prison. This resolution avoided a second-strike conviction and possible life sentence.
