October 3rd 2016
Shoplifting by Asportation
Client took items that did not belong to her. To summarize, the acts that she committed were sufficient for a charge and conviction of shoplifting. However, the clerk magistrate hearing process in Massachusetts allows for representation by an attorney at the hearing. In this case, Attorney Barabino was selected. He went to the scene of the incident, conducted a detailed review with client on her background, and had a discussion with the storeowner. After the hearing—no issue processed. Client free to leave with no evidence of any charge ever being filed. No Charges Issue.
RESULT: NO COMPLAINT TO ISSUE
