Another Client of David Brener Charged With Murder Receives No Additional Jail Time For Naples Murder

Attorney David Brener was able to secure a plea agreement for a client charged with First Degree Murder, Attempted Murder, and Robbery which resulted in his client, Rodsheek Williams, doing no additional jail time than than the sentence he was already serving. Williams was serving a 20 year sentence for tampering with witnesses, conspiracy, and gang activity. His attorney, David Brener of Fort Myers,  negotiated a plea agreement with the state to reduce the main charge, Murder in the Furst Degree, which carried a sentence of death or mandatory life imprisonment, to Second Degree Murder.  David Brener also got the prosecutor to waive the 25 year minimum mandatory, and to permit Williams to receive all of his 7 plus years time served. As a result, Mr. Williams will finish his sentence on the Murder case before he completes the sentence on the tampering case, likely in less than 13 years.

David Brener Defends Naples Man on Murder Case; Avoids Jail Time

House arrest and probation was the sentence on a Naples murder case recently defended in court by Criminal Attorney David A. Brener of Brener and DeMine, PLLC.  Brener's client, "S.O.", was charged with Murder in the shooting death of the boyfriend of one of his tenants.  The state's case included evidence of animus between the defendant and the victim, as well as evidence that the defendant lied in wait for the victim to arrive, and inflicted a second fatal shot as a coup de grace in order to insure the victim's demise.  Although it could have been charged as a first degree murder,  the case was filed as a second degree murder.  After extensive investigation, motion work, mitigation investigation, and plea negotiations, Brener was able to secure a plea to a reduced charge of manslaughter, and a sentence of two years house arrest followed by three years probation.  The defendant, who had been out on bond for years on the original murder charge after a bond hearing conducted by Brener, was thereby able to avoid both pre-trial and post-conviction incarceration.  The case was resolved in June, 2015.
