Death penalty prosecution of a husband for the stabbing death of his estranged wife. The client was accused of plotting the execution of his wife who was attempting to pursue a modeling career in California.

Marein and Bradley performed a mock trial of the case during pre-trial preparation and learned from the mock jury that a piece of evidence which prosecutors disregarded as inconsequential needed to be developed by the defense. Marein and Bradley followed up on this lead and employed the services of an internationally prominent DNA expert who tested the evidence. Marein and Bradley supplied the prosecution with a very defense favorable report which resulted in all charges being dismissed prior to trial.
