Jury Finds Lucas’ Client Not Guilty

Oskaloosa, Iowa. Lucas Taylor secured a not guilty verdict in a Harassment Third Degree case out of Mahaska County.

The charge arose from a courthouse dispute where the state alleged Lucas’s client acted with the intent to threaten, intimidate, or alarm another person.

The case raised a simple but important issue: an insult is not always a crime. After trial and less than 10 minutes of deliberation, the jury returned a verdict of not guilty.
