Commonwealth of Massachusetts v. Davis

Served as counsel in a landmark pro bono case in which client Arthur Davis was granted a new trial after 33 years of incarceration. Mr. Davis was convicted of first degree murder and sentenced to life without the possibility of parole in 1986. Eight years of investigation, motion practice, and DNA testing culminated in a motion for new trial filed in 2017, which was granted in November 2018. The Commonwealth has not yet indicated whether it will seek to retry Mr. Davis.
