Mitchell’s Cases

Murder Cases

Although Mitch’s caseload covers the full gamut of criminal charges, including impaired driving , illegal drugs, weapons, sexual assault, and most other criminal and quasi-criminal offences, he has also been involved in a number of murder cases. In late 2010 he succeeded in obtaining an acquittal for his client S.D. on a charge of first degree murder after a lengthy trial before a judge and jury in the Superior Court of Justice in Barrie. At the conclusion of the case of R. v. S.A., S.D., and J.P., while one co-accused was convicted of first degree murder and the second was convicted of the lesser offence of manslaughter, Mitch’s client was acquitted by the jury and walked out of the courtroom a free man after an almost 3 year ordeal. “There is no higher referral I could give to Mr. Eisen than to simply state what happened. In 2007 I was charged with First Degree Murder and held in custody until my trial. In 2010, after a 10 week trial, thanks to the combination of Mr. Eisen’s preparation, court room skills, and dedication to my case, I was acquitted and able to move on with my life… my debt of gratitude to Mr. Eisen is immeasurable!” S.D.
