Hardworking father and veteran did the unthinkable--he sexually abused his daughter. Recognizing his crime, client honorably presented himself to the local police department to ask that he be held accountable. He was not under investigation, suspicion or in warrant status when he did so. The result was several indictment(s) which carry, in some instances, life sentences. This District Attorney assigned the case had recently requested life sentences for like situations (after trial). Attorney Barabino worked with all involved and, in the end, negotiated a sentence which was 10-12 years in prison and some probation afterward. This will allow defendant to be possibly released in the minimum time allowed by law for an aggravated rape offense, which is ten years. This was devastating for all involved—fortunately the victim is doing very well (but the effects of abuse can take years to show up). No more than mandatory minimum sentence of 10-12 years in state prison, with brief probation term after release.
RESULT: DEFENDANT ELIGIBLE FOR RELEASE AT MINIMUM MANDATORY DATE.
