Client was charged with Assault and Battery on his pregnant girlfriend. According to police, he had hit her on three separate occasions. Prior to this charge, he was charged with a pending case of indecent assault and battery on a child and other related assault charges. Since those cases were pending prior to this matter, he was held without bail on a 58A Dangerous Hearing and Bail Revocation. At trial, Attorney Barabino requested that the court perform an investigation as to the complainant-proposed testimony to protect his Fifth Amendment rights. After the hearing was complete, client was provided a waiver from testifying, resulting in no choice but a dismissal of his most recent charges and immediate release from confinement.
RESULT: “Martins” Hearing results in DISMISSAL OF ALL CHARGES.
