NOT GUILTY VERDICT in a homicide case in Bristol County
Attorney Scapicchio’s most recent victory in a Bristol County Superior Court murder trial was hard fought. The Commonwealth charged her client, Kali Hollingsworth, with murder, unlawful possession of a firearm, and unlawful possession of a loaded firearm. Her meticulous trial preparation and scrutiny of the evidence enabled her to challenge the Commonwealth’s case, witness by witness. Her cross-examination skills are unmatched because she simply never backs down. During the trial, she exposed law enforcement’s lack of investigation and failure to do their job. She challenged the video evidence, the gunshot residue evidence, and the lack of investigation into third-party culprit evidence.
Following a seven-day trial, the jury deliberated for less than 90 minutes before returning not guilty verdicts on all three charges. After nearly four long years of pre-trial detention, Mr. Hollingsworth was able to walk out of the Fall River Superior courthouse with his family by his side.
Attorney Scapicchio is a fierce advocate for all of her clients. She will never stop fighting for justice.
