A Harris County jury returned a not-guilty verdict on June 5, 2026, in a misdemeanor case tried before Judge Shannon Baldwin in County Criminal Court at Law No. 4 [1]. The charge arose under Texas state law, and the case proceeded to a full jury trial rather than resolving through plea or dismissal [1].
Defense attorneys Johari Burnett and Zane Weeks represented the defendant at trial and secured the acquittal [1]. The source record does not identify the defendant by name, specify the precise misdemeanor charge beyond its classification, or describe the evidence presented at trial, so those details are omitted here.
No sentencing posture follows from the not-guilty verdict. The verdict closes the case at the trial level, and no post-trial or appellate proceedings are indicated in the available source material [1].

If the charge is later confirmed as a different offense category, the tag should be updated accordingly. The ACTORS family tags for counsel reflect the firm as "N/A" because no firm affiliation was reported in the source material. The tag count falls below the 12-tag target because the source record does not supply sufficient identified facts, such as defendant name, charge specifics, or counsel firms, to support additional accurate tags without fabrication.
