Daytona Beach Officer Found Not Guilty of Child Abuse

Today, John Richard Barrett, a former Daytona Beach Police Officer, was found Not Guilty on Child Abuse charges by a Daytona Beach jury.

Not Guilty Verdict for Officer Accused of Child Abuse

Aaron Delgado & Associates Criminal Defense Attorneys Tim Pribisco and Aaron Delgado pursued an aggressive trial strategy which involved forcing the State to bring John Barrett to trial within six months of his arrest, employing the assistance of a medical expert, and successfully excluding both the out of court statements of the alleged child victim and the opinion testimony of the State's nurse practitioner.

After a two-day trial and aggressive cross examination of law enforcement witnesses who conducted virtually no investigation, it took the jury less than twenty minutues to find our client Not Guilty. We enjoyed the challenge and pleasure of taking our client's case to trial and fighting for the result this innocent man deserved.
