Clerk Magistrate Hearing
Assault and Battery
Client was an all-around great person who was charged with Assault and Battery by Police. She had lived her entire life up to this point doing the right thing, working and raising her son and living her life. According to Police, she was in an establishment with her friend and husband when she was got into a fight with another woman who claimed that she was harassing her as well. That woman had filed a harassment order against client that Attorney Barabino represented that case successfully. However, with the Pandemic the criminal charge hearing was delayed, until today. In that hearing Attorney Barabino argued that the charge of Assault and Battery should not go forward. He presented two witnesses and exhibits showing that although client used force it was in self-defense. Also, Attorney Barabino also filed a three-page cross-complaint arguing that charges should be issued against the accuser. In the end, the decision makers listened carefully to the evidence determined that the charge should not issue. And Attorney Barabino withdrew the complaint against the other party as well.
RESULT: Clerk DOES NOT ISSUE the Charge of Assault and Battery Against Client
