Case Dismissed—
Two Brothers Accused of Embezzling Large Amounts of Money From Their Partner in Popular Downtown Naples Restaurant
Two Brothers Accused of Embezzling, Case Dismissed
The charges against two brothers alleged they voided all cash transactions from the computer, that the computer hard drive documented these voids and that undercover detectives ate at the restaurant, paid cash, and these transactions were similarly voided. After intense jury selection and just before opening statements were to begin the prosecutor dismissed the charges against our clients. When the state attempted to recharge our clients a few months later we filed a motion to dismiss on a series of technical and procedural grounds. The judge dismissed the charges. The state appealed the trial judge’s ruling and the appellate court upheld the dismissal forever discharging them from the charges.
