Case Results

  • PDR GRANTED
    June 2025 - State of Texas v. John Dudas 108th District Court, Potter County. The client was tried by a jury in 2024 and found guilty of murder. He received a very favorable sentence of just 15 years, despite having three prior felony convictions and two prison sentences in New Jersey. The trial Court refused our requested instructions on “Duress” and “Necessity” and the case was appealed on those grounds. The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals has now granted our Petition For Discretionary Review and we are set for oral argument. Our client was very satisfied with his limited sentence but has decided to seek another trial. The offer before trial was 35 years. Our trial defenses were self defense, necessity and duress.
