Lynn Juvenile Court INDICTMENT
Possession with Intent to Distribute Cocaine Chapter 94c Section 32A
Client, a fifteen year old was out on "Liberty Pass" from his commitment at the Department of Youth Services (DYS) and according to the police report had sold drugs to several individuals. Unknown to him the several individuals were part of an organized drug task force to include the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), State and local police as were as Sheriff Deputies. With overwhelming evidence against client, Attorney Barabino began negotiations. The young man was facing several years since he had indicted as a Youthful Offender. The Commonwealth sought several years in prison but Attorney Barabino successfully persuaded the judge to accept a commitment to the Department of Youth Service (again) until 21 and suspended sentence at the house of correction, if he doesn't complete the DYS sentence properly.
RESULT: Client avoids state prison term and is allowed to attend the Department of Services until 21 with suspended sentence for one year. (NOTE: The DYS will likely release client to his home within 5-8 months)
