Facing two counts of attempted first-degree murder and a lifetime in prison, a client walks free after his defense attorney's strategic defense dismantles the prosecution's case and exposes key investigative flaws.

(PRUnderground) August 19th, 2025

Renowned Colorado attorney Aaron P. Gaddis of Colorado Springs Criminal Defense, LLC successfully secured the complete dismissal of multiple serious felony charges for his client, including two counts of first-degree attempted murder.

The case involved severe allegations, including attempted murder, burglary, aggravated robbery, felony menacing, and violent crime sentencing enhancements. Prosecutors initially sought a plea agreement requiring the client to serve 25–40 years in the Department of Corrections, even with all counts running concurrently.

The accusations arose from a complex incident involving dangerous third parties and alleged gang activity. According to the client, he had been trying to rescue his girlfriend from a kidnapping situation involving members of a known Venezuelan criminal group. In the process, he was shot at and sustained a leg wound. Despite this, he was accused of being the shooter and aggressor in the incident.

Criminal defense attorney Gaddis meticulously dismantled the state’s case by:

• Challenging the credibility and consistency of witness statements.
• Demonstrating the lack of forensic or eyewitness evidence connecting the client to the alleged crimes.
• Highlighting the client’s cooperation, including voluntary gunshot residue testing.
• Bringing to light procedural flaws in the investigation and arrest process.

On April 28, 2025, the court granted a complete dismissal of all charges.

“When the stakes are this high, there’s no room for error,” said Gaddis. “This case was about ensuring that the truth prevailed and false accusations didn’t destroy an innocent man’s life.”
