On July 28, 2014, Jim D. Riddet of Bienert | Katzman obtained a dismissal of all eighteen felony counts including two counts of conspiracy and 16 counts of grand theft. The client was indicted by a grand jury over 3 years ago, but Mr. Riddet was able to obtain a dismissal of that indictment. Thereafter, the District Attorney filed a felony complaint alleging additional charges. After a two-day hearing, the court accepted Mr. Riddet’s argument that all counts were barred by the Statute of Limitations. Two co-defendants had entered pleas of guilty to the charges, and, as a result of the dismissal of Mr. Riddet’s client, their charges are expected to be dismissed as well. No further charges are anticipated.
