On April 4, 2022, the Law Office of Matthew W. Peterson achieved a significant victory by securing a NOT GUILTY verdict for a client facing serious gun charges in Chelsea District Court.
Our client was charged with possessing a firearm without a license, a serious offense that carried a potential sentence of 18 months in jail if convicted. The circumstances surrounding the case were particularly challenging.
Our defense strategy focused on demonstrating that our client did not have constructive possession of the weapon. After careful consideration of the evidence and arguments presented, the jury ultimately sided with our defense, leading to an acquittal.
