After two years in the court system, the client was found not guilty at a judge-alone trial. Spencer successfully argued that there was reasonable doubt about whether the client had been reckless in receiving the stolen property.

Spencer successfully led the client through the right to review process, having the Police reconsider their decision and offer Diversion to her after all.
