2015-07-28

Dan Hernandez and Marisa Ybarra obtained a surprise defense verdict from an El Paso County jury after a 2-week trial in the 34th Judicial District Court. Plaintiffs were represented by Jim Scherr, Sam Legate and Maxey Scherr. Plaintiffs claimed $5 million dollars in damages. Our client was found guilty of manslaughter for participating in the death of the Plaintiff in a previous criminal trial. Nevertheless, the jury found no negligence on our client in the civil case. Jurors noted that our client was "railroaded" in the criminal trial and finally got justice in the civil defense of the death trial.
