I know Ashley, and she is a heck of an attorney. She has done great legal work her entire career. This big win was as the “First Chair” in a jury trial.
That’s fantastic - a really tough assignment even with the government having the burden of proof. There’s always the underlying, “They wouldn’t have charged Defendant if he wasn’t guilty of something” prejudice. I saw that too often in courts martial, and it’s tough to overcome on voir dire. Congrats to her and I hope she spends some time at the range with that new piece!
