Despite that the victim/buyer testified at trial that he was unequivocally positive of the defendant as the person who robbed and beat him, the defense strategy involved challenging the victim’s Identification of the defendant through effective cross-examination to illustrate Reasonable Doubt in the prosecutor’s case.
After jury trial, the defendant was found NOT GUILTY.
