Lincoln Jury Commended for ‘Fairness” and Their “Commitment to Seeking Justice”

Lozafina Marketing and Public Relations is pleased to extend our warmest congratulations to Olowolafe Law Firm's client, Lisa Moten, on her recent trial victory. Ms. Moten, a resident of Omaha, was granted a favorable ruling by the jury in the District Court of Lancaster County, Nebraska, on July 13, 2023.

The jury's decision, a testament to their dedication to justice and thorough examination of the presented evidence, saw Ms. Moten acquitted of all felony charges. Furthermore, the jury found her guilty of a single misdemeanor charge, demonstrating their careful deliberation of the complex legal matters at hand.

Throughout the trial, Attorney Oluseyi Olowolafe of Olowolafe Law Firm exhibited a remarkable commitment to his client's cause. His unwavering advocacy, meticulous legal strategy, and utmost professionalism contributed significantly to this successful outcome. Attorney Olowolafe expressed his gratitude for the jury's impartiality and their meticulous consideration of the case's intricacies.

The trial, State of Nebraska v. Lisa Penn Moten (CR21-397), was held in relation to a high-profile criminal investigation connected to the tragic killing of James Shekie. In the wake of this incident, Lisa Moten, the mother of individuals allegedly involved in a conspiracy related to the case, found herself facing allegations of felony child abuse and tampering with evidence. Attorney Olowolafe's skillful representation culminated in a verdict of guilty for negligent child abuse and a not guilty ruling for tampering with evidence.

Attorney Olowolafe commended the jury for their ability to consider the facts and circumstances with fairness and objectivity. He highlighted the jury's acknowledgment of the potential for personal growth and transformation, emphasizing that one's past does not necessarily dictate their future actions. The verdict underscores the jury's commitment to upholding principles of justice and equality.

In expressing her gratitude, Ms. Moten shared, "Seyi is the best attorney I could have asked for. He fought tirelessly for me, despite the challenges we faced. The jury saw me as a person, and I am grateful for their understanding. I am now hopeful for a brighter future."

The trial's proceedings revealed the complexity of the case and the involvement of other individuals. While Ms. Moten achieved her successful outcome, court dates for her daughter Anna Feilen and son Marques Moten are set for July 20. Furthermore, Deontae Rush, Anna Feilen's ex-boyfriend, was previously found guilty and sentenced to life in prison.
