The five-day jury trial for Khalid M. involved several law enforcement officers testifying for the prosecution and both an expert witness and a character witness testifying for the defense. Khalid M. did not testify. After a three-day deliberation, the jury was deadlocked, and additional closing arguments were required. Following the additional arguments provided by Sawyer, the number of jurors for a not-guilty verdict grew during the deadlocked jury’s subsequent deliberations; a mistrial was consequently declared, after which the prosecution offered a misdemeanor charge with no jail time and no sex offender registration required.
“Previously my client was facing lifetime registration as a sex offender, state prison, and a strike conviction,” said Sawyer. “This is a tremendous outcome for him.”
