The recent acquittal of our client, David Landis White, marks a significant victory after a grueling seven-year journey to clear his name. This case serves as a testament to our unwavering commitment to justice and the tireless dedication we bring to every defense.
David White Found Not Guilty After Years of Legal Battle
In August 2017, an Overton County man, David White, was arrested and faced multiple charges, including two counts of child rape and aggravated sexual battery involving two alleged victims. Despite the gravity of these accusations, we were determined to ensure he received a fair trial and that the truth prevailed.
From the outset, the case was anything but straightforward. The complexities of the evidence, coupled with procedural challenges and even allegations of impropriety during the investigation, presented formidable obstacles. Yet, we remained steadfast in our resolve to uncover the truth and protect our client's rights.
Legal Defense Against Serious Charges
Key to our defense strategy was challenging the credibility of the allegations and presenting crucial expert testimony. Our ability to introduce a false confession expert and a DNA expert played a pivotal role in dismantling the prosecution's case. The absence of DNA evidence substantiated our client's consistent denials and bolstered the defense's narrative.
Moreover, recorded conversations revealed inconsistencies that highlighted critical flaws in the accusations. Through rigorous cross-examinations and strategic impeachment of witnesses, we were able to shine a light on the truth.
How Expert Testimony and Strategy Secured a Not Guilty Verdict
The jury’s not-guilty verdict marked a decisive moment in the case. Judge Gary McKenzie's prompt decision to release White on his own recognizance reinforced this pivotal shift. With remaining charges dismissed, David White now has the opportunity to move forward with his life.
