Reversal of 20-year prison sentence and conviction on appeal
​
An appellate court reversed burglary conviction and 20-year prison sentence because the trial judge wrongfully instructed the jury on accomplice liability at trial, and allowed the prosecution to admit irrelevant evidence of what prosecutors incorrectly characterized as "burglary tools."
dismissal of federal supervised release petition based on client's manslaughter conviction in state court
​
Client was convicted of manslaughter in state court while serving a term of federal supervised release. After client completed a lengthy state prison sentence, the U.S. Probation Office tried to send client to federal prison for the same conduct because it violated the terms of his federal supervised release. But J. Alejandro Barrientos convinced the U.S. Probation Office, the prosecutor, and ultimately the judge that the federal court lacked jurisdiction and therefore could not further punish the client.
Judgment of Acquittal on multiple first degree assault charges stemming from a drive by shooting
Judgment of acquittal was granted on more than ten first degree assault charges stemming from a drive by shooting. The judge had no choice but to grant the defense's motion for judgment of acquittal on the assault charges because the defense had successfully moved to exclude the prosecution's ballistics expert who would have testified that bullet casings found at the the scene of a drive by shooting were fired from a handgun allegedly found in the client's possession.
federal compassionate release results in years off of prison sentence
Client was sentenced to 100 months in prison in 2021 while represented by prior counsel. In 2024, client moved pro se for compassionate release. J. Alejandro Barrientos then appeared for the client and negotiated with the prosecution. The prosecution ultimately agreed to a joint recommendation with the defense that compassionate release be granted, which the Court accepted.
