However, after the fight the bully called police and an investigation followed. According to police, client had hit him multiple times, resulting in a concussion and other small injuries. However, the medical documentation that the District Attorney sought was not available and co-defendants who had also been involved in the fight were not able to provide evidence. In the end, Attorney Barabino and client sought and received a jury trial date and when the person who made the complaint failed to appear as a witness at the trial date, the case was forced to be dismissed.
