If You're Accused Like Olympian Kim Willoughby, Get A New York Criminal Attorney To Defend You

Accused of assault, Kim Willoughby pleaded not guilty. She is the the same volleyballer who won the silver medal in the Olympics. Willoughby attended college at the U. of Hawaii.

She is accused in the indictment of seriously injuring Sara Daniel in the winter of 2006. The indictment was sealed until the athlete turned herself in.

Willoughby's criminal attorney is claiming self-defense. He says that she was put in a position of having to defend herself. There was "no way out" says the criminal lawyer.

Deputy City Prosecutor Sherri Chun disputed this and said that Willoughby followed her victim and it was not a case of self defense in the least.

If this case happened in New York and it was a felony, a New York Criminal Lawyer would tell her, she would be potentially facing over a year in jail if convicted.

In the event you or a close friend are arrested and headed to a trial, hiring a New York Criminal Lawyer is essential for you. Hiring A New York Criminal Lawyer will help inform you or your rights and options.

Daniel's lawyer reported that her client suffered injuries which have left her in considerable discomfort and pain.
