Cincinnati criminal defense firm Moermond & Mulligan, LLC manages successful defense resulting in a full acquittal for a client facing assault charges.
CINCINNATI, OH, UNITED STATES, June 18, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — On March 11, 2026, the Hamilton County Court delivered a Not Guilty verdict in an assault case, fully exonerating a local defendant of all charges. The decision followed a bench trial where the defense successfully demonstrated that the defendant’s actions were a justified act of self-defense.
The defendant had been charged with Assault under Ohio Revised Code 2903.13, a charge that carries significant penalties, including potential jail time and lasting personal repercussions. However, during the trial, the defense team—led by attorney Brad Moermond—utilized rigorous cross-examination to highlight critical inconsistencies in the prosecution’s case and presented evidence that the defendant acted only to protect themselves from an immediate threat.
“This outcome reflects a successful defense showing that our client’s actions were entirely justified under the circumstances,” said Brad Moermond. “By carefully examining the testimony and evidence presented, the Court recognized that our client was not an aggressor but was acting within his legal right to self-defense.”
The verdict for Case No. 25/CRB/15576 brings an end to a legal process that began in September 2025. With the Not Guilty finding, the individual has been cleared of all wrongdoing, reinforcing the fundamental principle that every citizen has the right to a robust defense and the right to protect themselves when threatened.
