Louisville Criminal Defense Attorney Brendan McLeod
NOT GUILTY in a MURDER/BURGLARY TRIAL in Paducah, Kentucky (McCracken County). A puzzling murder and burglary charge that I took on 1.5 years ago. The son of the Paducah Heating and Air Conditioning was charged with Murder and Burglary. Approached by the family I proceeded into a journey that made me doubt anything that I was being told was real. Jury selection started on November 5, 2018 and ended at roughly 11:45 pm, November 10, 2018. The Jury found NOT GUILTY on Murder and Burglary.
2001 - 2002

Court of Common Pleas, Allegheny County - Judge Zottola
Any extra time I went to Allegheny County Court of Common Pleas Criminal, Judge Zottola. I sat through criminal trials from DUI to Murder. I wrote opinions, always too verbose and heavily edited/deleted by the judge, and I would hangout with the courtroom deputy. Good times.
