The Insanity Defense
Tony Becker (name changed to protect confidentiality) was a teenager when he was charged with over ten counts of first-degree sexual assault along with related charges. The State claimed that Mr. Becker had assaulted other residents in a group home where he resided.
At trial Mr. Becker raised the defense of mental disease or defect. Specifically, Attorney Spinella argued that he suffered from Attention Deficit Disorder.
Because this unique defense had never before been made in Connecticut, extraordinary effort was made to convince and educate the jury of the merits of this defense, such as the introduction of expert testimony from leading experts.
Following a lengthy and intensely contested trial in which the State disputed every possible aspect of the Defendant's defense, Mr. Becker was acquitted of every charge and walked from the courtroom free to pursue a productive life with a family that supported him at every juncture.
Spinella & Associates pledges to represent each and every criminal defendant who has retained them in the same zealous manner in which Tony Becker was represented.
