Assault and Battery on Pregnant Person
Magistrate Hearing, Representation of Spouse
A young pregnant woman found herself at the center of a criminal complaint involving her husband. Although listed as the alleged victim, Client came forward to ensure her voice and perspective were meaningfully considered by the court. She met with Attorney Barabino to explain the nature of their relationship, the circumstances leading up to the incident, and the couple’s efforts to repair and rebuild. They spoke at length about the importance of moving forward as a family. Attorney Barabino assisted Client in drafting a detailed affidavit, capturing her impressions, personal history, and clear opposition to the complaint. That affidavit was submitted to assist the responsive and hardworking prosecutors and magistrates tasked with evaluating the matter. After careful review, no felony complaint issued, and Client and her family were able to move forward with stability.
RESULT: No Felony Complaint Issued; Case Closed
