In a trial that was covered by various media outlets, Attorney Jonathan Simms successfully defended a client charged with kidnapping and malicious wounding in Arlington County. The prosecutor in the case alleged that the client had abducted an individual at knife point in the Clarendon area of Arlington, Virginia.  After two days of testimony from multiple witnesses and police officers, the jury returned a not guilty verdict.  The client was facing a possible 10 year jail sentence if he had been found guilty.
