Domestic Assault and Battery
Client was a pleasant hard working Registered Nurse who was charged with Domestic Assault and Battery. The person who made the allegations was her soon to be ex-husband. According to the police, ex-husband called 911 emergency and reported what he said was an assault. Police responded and they did what they normally do which is interview all the people involved on the scene. In this case, the police decided that there was probable cause to arrest our client and did so. Most police departments will not arrest a person for a misdemeanor offense which didn’t occur in their presence—however, many police departments have a mandatory arrest policy for allegations of domestic violence which requires them to do so. In this case she was arrested. Eventually, after arraignment she hired Attorney Barabino and then they began the journey of navigating the criminal justice system. Today, after a couple court dates, a Trial Readiness Conference was called, and the Commonwealth declared they were unable to proceed, and the case was dismissed in its entirety.
RESULT: Charges of Domestic A&B Dismissed at TRC Date.
