Salem District Court
Assault and Battery Chapter 265 Section 13(a)
Threats to commit a crime Chapter 275 Section 2
Intimidation of a Witness Chapter 268 Section 13b
Disturbing the Peace Chapter 272 Section 53
Client was charged with the above charges after police alleged that a person reported that his girlfriend had been choked by him earlier in the evening. During this alleged event it was reported to police that the defendant kicked her door resulting in damage. The value of the door was estimated to worth nearly one thousand dollars. The girlfriend was also charged for her conduct during the police investigation. Attorney Barabino was able to negotiate a dismissal for the three of the four charges, since the victim was unavailable to testify due to her charges. With the girlfriend fully participating with the defense, Attorney Barabino placed the remaining charge on for a trial before a judge. At the trial the required witness did not appear and as a result a dismissal was requested and granted by the judge.
RESULT: Every Charge DISMISSED and Client Does Not Have to Pay Any RESTITUTION for the Damaged Door.
