Yes. Al "Scarface" Capone was tried in courtroom 6-1 of the Dade County Courthouse on July 10, 1930. Back then it was known as courtroom 630 and was the Criminal Court of Record for Dade County, Florida. Over a three day period, Capone face perjury charges brought by the State of Florida. A jury never got the chance to render a verdict. The presiding judge, Ernest Clyde Collins, granted a motion for a judgment of acquittal. When the judge announced his decision, the audience applauded and cheered for the gangster. Soon after, Capone (through his attorney J. Fritz Gordon) announced that he was leaving Miami for Broward County. The following year Capone was convicted in Chicago for income tax evasion.
