Assault and Battery with a Dangerous Weapon
Client, hard working union member, had an unexpected argument and exchange with a woman who he had never met prior. The argument escalated and words were exchanged. She then made an accusation that he burnt her leg with his lit cigarette which client admitted was flicked in her direction. She went to the police and showed them where she said a burn mark existed that she said resulted. Despite a great difference of opinion of accuser's account, including accusation of cigarette burn, client opted for a more safer result with plea deal. This plea deal included no anger management or drug screens and an agreed upon reduction from the felony change of "dangerous weapon" to the misdemeanor charge of assault and battery.
RESULT: CHARGE REDUCED FROM FELONY, LIMITED PROBATION CONDITIONS.
