Dougherty defendant charged with Public Indecency acquitted after 1 day trial!

The Defendant was charged with two counts of Public Indecency after two young girls claimed he was parading around in his living room without clothes on. We argued at trial that there is no law requiring a person to clothes his curtains and that the only way the girls could have seen him was to be purposefully looking through his windows, a crime in and of itself. The jury agreed and acquitted the Defendant. This was a particularly sweet victory as the DA that prosecuted the case had for years bragged that he was undefeated. After this trial, he was no longer allowed to say that!
