People v. Cazares and Moreno – Defendants Cazares and Moreno were accused by more than ten Bell Gardens police officers of assault and resisting arrest. Both Mr. Cazares and Mr. Moreno were beaten and shot by the police officers as a result of allegedly resisting arrest. Both clients were facing extensive prison sentences if convicted and were told by numerous attorneys that they could not win since it would be a case of the defendants' word against the police officers'. After a relentless defense, Mr. Manuelian exposed the police officers' discrepancies, inaccuracies, and falsehoods. After Mr. Manuelian's blistering attack against the police officers, the jury quickly came back with "Not Guilty" verdicts on all counts against both Mr. Cazarez and Mr. Moreno.
