Brett D. Lovins obtained a complete acquittal for his client after a four-day jury trial in Middlesex Superior Court. 

Brett’s client faced seven serious gun possession charges carrying a mandatory prison sentence if convicted. At trial, the defense challenged a central flaw in the prosecution’s case: whether his client — a wheelchair-bound quadriplegic with severely limited manual dexterity — could actually exercise possession or control over the firearms and ammunition as alleged. The firearms, for instance, were each unloaded and either disassembled or secured in a combination-locked safe which required fine motor skills to even access. The defense also elicited testimony that they belonged to another individual, further undermining the Commonwealth’s theory of possession.

In the end, the jury did exactly what the system asks of it: listened carefully to all of the evidence, critically evaluated the Commonwealth’s case in light of its burden, and unanimously reached in this case a just result. 

Congratulations to Brett on another trial victory and, most importantly, to his client, who can move forward with his life and his freedom intact. 

Attorney Brett D. Lovins obtained an acquittal for his client accused of serious OUI charges after a jury trial in the Malden District Court. Jurors returned their unanimous verdict for the defendant after deliberating for less than an hour. At trial, the government relied heavily on perceived odd behavior at the scene following a car accident. The evidence presented by the defense, however, demonstrated that the behavior stemmed from a head injury sustained when the client struck the windshield during the accident—not from intoxication. The Not Guilty verdict preserves the client’s freedom and ability to maintain full-time employment.

Brett Lovins successfully moved to suppress firearms discovered during an illegal police search of a motor vehicle parked at a casino.
