Case Dismissed After David Discredits Witness

In P. v. J.C., the defendant allegedly pointed a firearm at the complaining witness and then fired it in his direction.  The district attorney alleged that he had unlawfully discharged that weapon, a felony.  At the preliminary hearing, Attorney Dudley discredited the witness so severely on cross examination that, over the prosecution’s strenuous objection, the court DISMISSED the case, specifically finding that the purported victim lacked any credibility whatsoever.
