ANNOYING TELEPHONE CALLS

Annoying Telephone Calls/Electronic Communication
A hard working state-employee, now retiree, became concerned about his various process and procedures with the Commonwealth. As a result, he made a lot of unwanted calls, text and social media posts. Client was charged with annoying phone calls, 2 counts. The acts were prosecuted by the Attorney General Cyber Crime Division. The Commonwealth provided ample discovery and evidence prior to trial. That evidence included over 700 numbers exhibits which were supported in electronic and print format. The evidence was strong. Attorney Barabino and client tendered a plea—but when we didn’t get what we were seeking, they withdrew the plea and opted for a trial. At trial they once again tendered a plea and received what was an acceptable disposition.
Result: 2^nd Tender of Plea, Half Probation Period and less Conditions.
