Violation: Rape
Facing: Up to 30 years imprisonment

Additional Details: This client was charged with rape as a result of incapacitation of the victim. Frank Lannom and Melanie Bean were retained six years after the incident, at which time the case remained pending. The investigation subsequently undergone by the attorneys uncovered untested semen samples; after obtaining an expert analysis of the samples, the same was found to not match the defendant. Upon counsel presenting this evidence, the State dismissed all charges against the Defendant.
