EXPERIENCE COUNTS:
WE GET RESULTS
Here is a sampling of our victories in state and federal courts. There are many other victories and many other cases where charges were avoided before being filed. This is merely a representative sample of cases over the past few years. Results may vary in any given case because each case must be decided on its own unique facts and the law applicable in that given case.
• Split Verdict in police corruption allegations. After a three-and-a-half week jury trial in Tulsa (August 2011), Officer Jeff Henderson was found not guilty of 44 counts of drug possession and distribution, witness tampering, perjury, conspiracy, and civil rights violations. The court merged four of the perjury charges into other counts. One count of bribery was dismissed by the judge during trial, but the jury found Mr. Henderson guilty of two misdemeanor civil rights violations and guilty on 6 counts of perjury. Wyatt intends to appeal. (See Tulsa World for articles).
• Federal drug case dismissed. After Wyatt's defense investigation of federal drug charge involving allegations that the client possessed 11 pounds (5 kilos) of meth with intent to distribute, government dismissed rather than face trial.*
• Drug Evidence Suppressed in Federal Court. Wyatt and Scott Graham teamed up arguing and convincing the federal court to suppress evidence obtained after a "routine" traffic stop pursuant to an open air drug dog sniff search. During an illegal search, Troopers found 3,000 Oxycontin pills, multiple fake I.D.s, fake prescriptions, and over $17,000 cash. All evidence suppressed and case dismissed.*
•
Federal Charges Dismissed.
Client charged with conspiracy to defraud investors in an alleged $1.2 million
advance fee scheme. At a "James" hearing to determine scope of
conspiracy, Wyatt showed that government had no proof against his client.
Government counsel agreed to dismiss the charges against Wyatt's client; all
other defendants still facing charges.*
•
Minimal Punishment for Federal
Antitrust
Price Fixing Charge.
Client accused of orchestrating gasoline price-fixing scheme with volume of
commerce in excess of $5 million. Jury returned guilty verdict for Sherman
Antitrust Act price-fixing violation, but judge ordered only probation (with
no restitution) based on evidence developed at trial and in mitigation.*
• Federal charges avoided for killing bald eagle and for possession of eagle feathers and claws after counsel involved in federal investigation.*
• One of Mr. Wyatt's federal trials was recently reviewed in Harvey Silverglate's new book, Three Felonies a Day: How the Feds Target the Innocent (New York, Encounter Books, 2009).
• 4 years given in Federal Child Porn. In 2009, the U.S. District Court for the W.D. Oklahoma varied from the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines -- giving Wyatt's client a term of 4 years. U.S. Sentencing Guidelines called for approximately 8 years and plea agreement called for not less than 5 years. This non-Guideline sentence, while rare, was fair based on evidence presented to the Court.
• Probation given in Federal Child Porn. In 2009, the U.S. District Court for the W.D. Oklahoma granted a term of straight probation for possession of child porn. This non-Guideline sentence, while very rare, was fair.
• 14 month sentence for Federal Child Porn
. In 2007, the U.S. District Court sentenced Wyatt's client to only 14 months for possession. Client faced up to 10 years. The sentence was a significant departure from the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines.
•
Not Guilty
Verdict for Possession of Child Porn in federal court.
•
