Case Results of Ruth Beerup

Not guilty
Robbery 2nd Degree
The client was at a bar when he grabbed a wallet that was sitting on the bar top and attempted to leave with it. The victim noticed the client's actions and grabbed him by the arm before he got to the door. The client then punched the victim in the face, knocking her to the floor, dropped the wallet and left. Unfortunately for the client, the bar had an unusually clear video system which happened to be pointing directly at the area where all this occurred. Given the nature of this video evidence, the prosecution had little incentive to negotiate a deal and the offer was a 10 year prison sentence. At trial Ruth was able to convince a jury that the videotaped actions did not constitute the elements of the crime charged, and they returned a verdict of not guilty.

SIS
Third DWI with Accident
The client was facing a felony charge and up to four years in prison after she was found to be driving while impaired after an accident in which she struck another vehicle.The client had two previous convictions for DWI. Ruth worked hard to keep this case in municipal court where she was able to negotiate with the prosecutor to get a much lighter punishment. As a result, the client was able to keep her driver's license and received a suspended sentence and two years of unsupervised probation.

Dismissed
Drug Trafficking
The client was found to be in possession of 150 lbs. of marijuana during an interstate traffic stop of his RV. The prosecutor made a suspiciously good offer before trial. Rather than accept the offer, Ruth investigated further to see if she could find why such a good offer was made. After working hard to make sure that all of the evidence in the case was properly presented during discovery, Ruth found that the arresting department had made some errors in their handling of the evidence and she filed a motion for all charges to be dismissed. The prosecution agreed to dismiss all charges before the motion was even heard.
