Homicide charges were brought against a man with diminished mental capacity, for a tragic accident that took the life of his girlfriend. Police made no effort to properly investigate the core issues of lighting and visibility, and as a result, the State of MN public defender had to retain Dan Billington. Mr. Billington completed a comprehensive analysis of all of the causal factors and presented his findings during four hours of testimony before a judge. After hearing all of the facts, the judge agreed with Mr. Billington and acquitted the man on the most serious charge.
