Teacher, Elisha Hughes, Acquitted of Murder Charge

State vs. Elisha Hughes

After experiencing the loss of her husband, Elisha was charged for being responsible for his murder! From day one, Elisha adamantly denied any involvement whatsoever, and after the combined efforts of Mr. Colette & Dennis Sweet, a highly respected Jackson attorney, the jury finally rendered a NOT GUILTY verdict. This case involved a total failure on the part of the prosecution to prove any element of their case against Elisha. Thankfully the jury was able to see through the smoke and mirrors put on by the prosecution, and at the end of the day, justice prevailed. The verdict was a result of Mr. Colette and Mr. Sweets relentless, determined and creative defense of Elisha.
