Additionally, a mandatory 10-day sentence was imposed due to the OVI being the second within 10 years. This outcome reflects Mr. Villegas' skillful advocacy and dedication to achieving the best possible results for our clients.

STATE V. SHOE

At the time Mr. Bucio agreed to take on Mr. Shoe's case, he was the third different lawyer on the case in three months and Mr. Shoe was facing over 80 years in prison for multiple felonies including: Felonious Assaults, Rapes, Abduction, Kidnapping, and Burglary. Although the district attorney's medical examiner had incriminating DNA results of Mr. Shoe; Mr. Bucio tried the case to a jury for over a week.

During Shoe's trial, Mr. Bucio was able to put the accuser's lack of credibility on full display and argued that the sexual encounter was consensual. After only 45 minutes of deliberation, the jury found Mr. Shoe not guilty on all charges and was immediately released from custody after being locked up for over 15 months during the pendency of the case.

STATE V. BRUMBAUGH

This high-profile felony juvenile case involved five co-defendants, some of whom came from lawyer families and thus privileged backgrounds. The state of Ohio offered the kids from lawyer families sweetheart deals so long as they pointed the finger and blamed the non-lawyer family kids for the crimes accused, which involved kidnapping of a young girl with a sexual overtone.

At trial, Mr. Bucio overcame the state's snitches and was able to prove to the trier of fact that the kidnapping was nothing more than a prank and the accuser had maintained close relationships with all of the boys for weeks after the prank.

Consequently, after the trial, Mr. Brumbaugh was released from custody with no probation which fared much better than the privileged lawyer kids who had to do six months in jail along with supervised probation.

STATE V. JOHNSON

Mr. Johnson was accused of beating and shaking his newborn baby resulting in devastating injuries that ultimately culminated in the child's death. Originally charged with murder and later amended to manslaughter, Mr. Bucio and his expert witnesses were able to provide substantial evidence contradicting the state's theory of how the injuries were sustained. Furthermore, through Mr. Bucio's pre-trial questioning of the state's key witnesses, he was able to counter the state's alleged timeline. As the jury was impaneled, the state dismissed the manslaughter and accompanying felony charges and immediately released Mr. Johnson from confinement from which he was held for over a year.

STATE V. ROSS

Mr. Ross was charged in Montgomery County with a home invasion with firearms specifications involving four victims. During the course of the representation, the State of Ohio offered Mr. Ross's co-defendant full immunity for testifying against him at trial. Despite the mounting evidence, eyewitness testimony, and co-defendant pointing the finger at Mr. Ross; the trial team was able to overcome it all and the 101-year potential prison sentence, receiving not guilty verdicts on 21 charges.

STATE V. JOHNSTON

Mr. Johnston was charged in Miami County with Domestic Violence for beating up his brother over an argument pertaining to farm equipment. At the conclusion of the trial, Mr. Johnston was found not guilty and was restored his right to bear firearms, which as an avid hunter was vitally important to him and his family.
