A motion for Judgment of Acquittal is a request for the judge to dismiss the charges because the prosecutor failed to put forth sufficient evidence to prove a prima facie case. That means the prosecutor has to put on evidence of each element of the alleged crime. In an Improper Exhibition of Firearm case the elements are:
These are very difficult motions to win because when looking at the evidence the court must make all inferences in favor of the prosecutor. They are terrific wins because if you can get the criminal court to grant the Motion for J.O.A., the charge is dismissed and the jury does not even deliberate. In this case the Motion for J.O.A. was granted, my client was acquitted, the charge was dismissed, and we went home early because the jury was dismissed without the need to deliberate the case and reach a verdict.
