Monmouth County, NJ – August 9, 2024 – Criminal defense attorney Anthony Cherry successfully secured a not guilty verdict for his client on a 2nd-degree strangulation charge after a rigorous two-week trial in Monmouth County. The trial culminated in three days of intense jury deliberation, reflecting the complexity and high stakes of the case.
The case involved serious allegations, but Cherry’s meticulous defense strategy led to a significant victory on the most severe charge. The jury found the defendant not guilty of 2nd-degree aggravated assault by strangulation, a charge that carried the possibility of a lengthy prison sentence.
Despite the favorable outcome on the most serious charge, the jury returned guilty verdicts on lesser charges, including disorderly persons simple assault, 3rd-degree witness tampering, 3rd-degree stalking, and 4th-degree contempt. These convictions, while serious, represent a far better outcome for Cherry’s client, who avoided the potentially life-altering consequences of a 2nd-degree felony conviction.
“This case was a true test of the justice system, and I’m proud of our result,” said Cherry. “While we respect the jury’s decisions on the other charges, the not guilty verdict on the most serious charge highlights the importance of thorough preparation and a relentless commitment to our clients.”
Cherry’s success in this trial further solidifies his reputation as a top criminal defense attorney in New Jersey. He is known for his strategic acumen and dedication to protecting his clients’ rights.
