Peabody District Court
Breaking and Entering with Intent to Commit a Misdemeanor Chapter 266 Section 16A
Client was an eager to apply for his U.S. Citizenship and didn’t need a reckless indiscretion holding him back. Since there are some charges that can impede an application for admission to U.S. Citizenship we knew that if any deal would be struck it would be when the jury was sworn in and the District Attorney had all their witnesses. The day of trial came---and the District Attorney had their witnesses and then some. The facts were even worse that anticipated. Quite simply---the fresh footprints in the snow leading into the building where they were found went in one direction (In the locked room). Moment’s prior to trial, Attorney Barabino negotiated a straight dismissal of the Breaking and Entering charge and disposition of the trespassing charge that didn’t include a conviction—a win for citizenship application. One co-defendant wasn’t so lucky—she opted to challenge and a charge and a verdict of guilty entered for her. No so, for Attorney Barabino’s Client. He leaves court with NO Conviction.
RESULT: Client has NO Immigration Consequences and NO Conviction.
